“During last month’s NAB Convention, Alan Sklar was one of four actors hired by Harris Corporation to “anchor” a news program.  I cannot praise Alan highly enough.  Beyond delivering information in a compelling and effective manner, anchors were expected to maintain energy and interest during video portions of the program, day in and day out.  Alan not only performed brilliantly, but he made significant contributions behind the scenes as well. Among other things, he added personal warmth and levity to the normal trade show stress and suggested appropriate script revisions that improved the program.  The bottom line?  Alan did a great job for us at NAB.  We were lucky to have him and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.”

Martha Rapp, Mgr, Marketing Communications, Harris Corp.

“Our National Sales Meeting was a huge success.   In large measure our videos contributed to this success.  Especially The Dream Detail...the audience howled.  Everyone in the field and home office wants a copy.  Alan, you made the video...it’s all yours, and you did a fabulous job.”

JoAnn Huckvale, Mgr, Corporate A/V Communications, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals

“I also wanted to say a much overdue thank you for the outstanding work you did on that narration.  The more we hear it, the more we realize what an integral part you played in making the program the inspiring and intriguing piece it is.  You really captured the aura of Chiricahua with your voice in a way I’m not sure many other actors could.  Alan, you were also a pleasure to work with every step of the way.”

Gayle Putman, Prod/Dir, Keystone Media Group

“A much-belated but heartfelt note of thanks for the terrific job you did at our Keystone Sales Meeting.  Your portrayal of Dr. Sklar, clinical psychologist and astute observer of all of Ken Daly’s foibles, was clearly the high point of the meeting.  Your ability to walk a fine satirical line helped us all communicate our affection and respect for Ken’s leadership.  I’m forever appreciative for a truly outstanding job.”
