NYU Tisch graduate with a BFA in Drama and singer of 19 years equipped with the tools to help you find your voice and sing with confidence.

Jenisa is a amazing instructor. She is not only my instructor but she my beautiful niece. She has taught me to come out of my shell. I am very shy when it comes to performing in front of people and she has guided me to be able to perform in front of others. She has taught me how to use my voice in a proper way with out straining it. With all her amazing exercises. She is an amazing beautiful soul!

My experience with JDC voice was nothing short of incredible. I automatically felt comfortable as Jenisa walked me through every step of the lesson letting me know how we would be begin, end, and what to expect. I already felt like I was in a safe space where I knew I’d be cared for.

We began with a meditation that allowed me to be guided to a place of calm while maintaining an intention of a soft focus. At the end of the mediation the tension had dropped away from my body and I felt loose and ready to make sound.

Before we began Jenisa asked me to focus on the intention and feeling behind the sounds that she would invite me to make and not the product. She emphasized the importance of feeling free to “sound bad” and make mistakes as there was no proper sound to achieve, we were simply there to explore.

As Jenisa took me through different vocal eases, she’s encouraged me to breathe deeply and release as I felt I could. If at any time she recognized any tension or any potential space for release she would place her hands there and it automatically would follow by a release in the voice. Not once did it feel intrusive or surprising, but like being guided to the ease and fluidity of my breath and voice.

If at any time throughout the lesson I was confused or need clarity, Jenisa was able to give both an energetic and anatomical explanation for what could be happening at the base of my question within my voice and body; this knowledge of both fields allowed me to feel open to explore in a way that I have not yet previously experienced in a standard voice lesson.

In less than 40min I found ease space and freedom with my voice and I cannot wait to continue exploring with JDC voice.

Jenisa's energy is both soothing and inspiring as you move through the exercises. She has a vocabulary that makes the technical side of voice work much more relatable and easy to comprehend. She's such a delight to work with.
