Testimonials
Melissa Vagi
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.

I can’t recommend Jenny highly enough. I don’t have a theater background and have found accents difficult. I’d always wanted to be able to speak in a Scottish accent. Jenny, in her graceful and expert way, taught me how. She has the ear to hear how I needed to change my voice to capture the rollicking, syrupy quality of Scottish English and the voice to demonstrate it, so I could learn to hear it myself.

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. Jenny comes to each session prepared, with individualized sessions that inform, inspire, and stretch me. I look so forward to my time with her!

“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.”

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.
