What Edge Studio does

Edge Studio, LLC is a New York City-based voice over production and training company founded in 1989 by David Goldberg. The company operates five recording studios in NYC supported by partner studios in Los Angeles and Washington DC, and offers remote recording capabilities. Its core service is end-to-end voice over production — script casting, recording, and post-production — drawing from a roster of 1,000+ voice actors and supporting work in 50+ languages. Since inception the company has completed more than 13,000 voice over productions for clients including Marvel, Disney, Microsoft, Nike, Google, Pfizer, and the CDC, spanning entertainment, technology, consumer, healthcare, and government sectors.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining professional services production work with consumer-facing voice over training. Production work is quote-based and project-driven, targeting enterprise clients with campaign, narration, and localization needs. The training arm delivers structured courses — including an introduction class at $47 and a fundamentals course at $97 — and has trained more than 2,200 voice actors cumulatively. The company has also extended into adjacent service lines through Prosody.center, a sub-brand providing public speaking and presentation coaching, and has partnered with Kurricula to support e-learning content production.

Edge Studio is founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional capital. It maintains 11-50 employees and is positioned as a long-tenured specialist in human voice production rather than a technology platform. The combination of owned infrastructure, partner studios, remote capability, multilingual coverage, and an integrated training-to-roster talent pipeline forms the operational backbone of the company.
