About Jen

I’m a voice teacher, singer and actor based in Sydney. I provide voice training to professional and aspiring professional singers in musical theatre.

As well as working with many of Australia's premier musical theatre performers in my studio, I teach vocal technique and musical theatre for the NIDA Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting), Brent Street’s Diploma of Musical Theatre and The Hub Studio.

I’m also engaged as a singing voice specialist and consultant on musical productions, most recently working with the Australian Ballet on An American In Paris.

My annual Tertiary Musical Theatre Audition Course has had huge success in assisting students to gain admission into Australia’s leading drama schools such as WAAPA, VCA, NIDA, QLD Conservatorium and Elder Conservatorium.

This is for you if…

• You are currently working on a show and want to keep your voice healthy.

• You need help preparing for auditions or your next show.

• You are a dancer or actor struggling with vocal identity as a “singer”. 

• You have recently graduated from training and need guidance transitioning from student to professional.

You are under 16 or an absolute beginner.

I’d love to work with you, but my studio gets very busy so I focus only on professional and aspiring professional singers.

If you’d still like to get in touch I can recommend some great teachers!

KAT HOYOS

What I love about Jen (in the nicest way possible), is she is an absolute nerd when it comes to knowing about the voice - anatomically, and as an instrument. What comes with being an absolute nerd is passion and knowledge. Her face lights up when she talks about it. You can tell she cares about it, and cares about you. She keeps learning, she keeps expanding, and in my eyes, is what a teacher should be. Sharing her inspired wisdom. Oh yeah, and a helluva singer herself.

LUKE HABERECHT

After graduating from WAAPA, it was paramount for me to find a teacher that placed equal value on vocal technique and acting through song. Jen was exactly this - but so much more! After four years of working with Jen, I can proudly say that I have found a coach and confidant who has created a safe, nurturing space, and has diversified my abilities while fostering my individuality. Jen’s guidance has taken my voice lightyears beyond what I ever could have hoped it could be. When it comes to audition preparation or expanding your repertoire, Jen’s complex understanding of musical theatre, both as a genre and as an industry, is truly incomparable. I cannot recommend Jen highly enough; without her tutelage and support, I could never have possibly seen the success and improvement that I have.

I came to Jen as a weekly vocal coach after graduating from WAAPA. Jen soon became much more than this! With advice about the industry, casting agents and golden information she soon became a life saver. Jen has such in-depth knowledge as a singer and performer and can always answer my obscure questions, no matter the topic. Her studio space is friendly and open, much like Jen herself and she has allowed my voice to grow exponentially.
