Jessica's Singing Philosophy
Authentic Singing
My approach to singing is highly holistic. I believe that you already have a powerful instrument inside of you.
That instrument is your own unique voice.
When you choose to study the voice you choose to study your own personal instrument. This means you learn to listen to your body and practice self compassion so that you can train your instrument in a healthy way. This type of self awareness awakens singers to a more conscious way of being that permeates their entire lives.
The SCIENCE of Singing
When I was a student of Speech and Hearing Sciences I had an amazing awakening. Throughout my earlier years of vocal training, although I had excellent training in many ways, I had never been exposed to the voice as a science. I had never seen the human voice in action. When I finally saw what my instrument actually looks like on a functional level, as a mechanism, I became enlightened to a new way of singing: a more aware, and thus, freer way of singing.
I believe that if singers can visualize and connect to their bodies as instruments they will be able to produce the sounds they desire. This process takes training and practice but will be one full of knowledge and without guess-work.
