Jenny is a well-seasoned professional who has extensive experience working with actors as well as with enterprise executives. She is extremely patient and encouraging and customizes her sessions to your individual needs. I was born and raised in another country and because of that, I have a strong accent that sometimes gets in the way of effective communication when the pressure is strong at high-stakes meetings. I connected with Jenny for the purpose of having a coach to help me work on my accent, intonation, and speech rhythm. After the first session, I could already perceive a big difference with my audience, as in the message getting through at the first attempt! This was the best professional development decision I've made.

I’d spent most of adulthood with the knowledge that people frequently did not hear me or understand me. It was frustrating but I chalked it up to being soft-spoken by nature. After hearing stories of other professionals who went through voice training to sound more authoritative and project more, I went in search of someone who could do the same for me. After just a couple sessions with Jenny, the difference was marked. It’s not that my voice was no longer recognizable to friends and family, the changes were more subtle, but the results were huge. Now I don’t get “What did you say?” or the conversations that abruptly end because no one wants to ask me to speak up. It’s also greatly improved the confidence I feel when speaking to clients. I would recommend Jenny to anyone in a similar situation without hesitation.

“Jenny has a certain genius when it comes to the human voice. Over the course of three months, Jenny helped me take a full diagnostic on my voice and tactfully empowered me to improve on the issues I found troubling. Specifically, she noticed poor breathing habits and unnecessary tension that were the root causes for most of what I perceived as problematic. Her keen ear and attention to detail are second to none. I would highly recommend Jenny to anyone looking to improve their voice and speaking abilities.”

Voice coaching with Jenny has been life-changing. For the last year, I've been working with Jenny to unlearn lazy speaking habits. I'm now speaking more clearly, with more force and confidence. Jenny has taught me good speech habits like breathing properly and slowing down that have made my professional and personal conversations more meaningful. Jenny's teaching has made me more self-aware of my verbal communication style and mannerisms, and how those characteristics are perceived. I appreciate her teaching me how to be a more effective communicator.

As a non-native speaker, my initial goal was to refine my accent so that I could communicate more effectively. This started with polishing my understanding of speech, pronunciation, and communication. Jenny has been helping me better compose, enunciate and project my thoughts and ideas. She spends time understanding my needs, creates personalized sessions, and follows up with useful notes and exercises. In addition, she quickly moves through exercises that are easy for me and spends more time with areas that are challenging. Jenny is also good about remembering both my strengths and weaknesses across sessions, which has accelerated my learning. In short, my sessions with her have made a difference in my personal and professional life, and for that I am grateful!

Working with Jenny helped me to feel more confident as a professional. We were able to identify and remedy speech issues I didn't realize I had. I've now found that I mumble less and can more effectively communicate with coworkers and clients.

Jenny really knows how to make you feel comfortable--I’ve worked with other acting coaches before, and it can be intimidating. One thing that Jenny has really helped me with is to bring a character into real life. She definitely helped me land a role that I never thought I could get. I loved working with Jenny!

Working with Jenny has been invaluable! Her skill and talent as a voice coach has given me a level of knowledge and confidence that has positively added to my actor’s toolbox.

I am a French actor and I realized I needed someone to help me understanding the pronunciation. Jenny is the perfect coach for that purpose. I can feel that my skills improved a lot since I met her. She knows the differences between English and French, she was able to explain me how I can master new sounds, a new way to speak. And she is attentive to my needs and requests. It is also a question of how to “feel" the sounds and Jenny knows how to help you understand the feeling of the sounds of American English.
