Hi, I'm JenniferI'm passionate about helping to transform people's lives and careers by helping you to elevate your voice, presentation skills and your brand. What I know for sure is that when we free our voice, we free our self to step into the life, career, passion and purpose we wish for ... and we open more doors to joy and success. I know that because I've lived it myself. I've gone from being a tropical island-raised girl to a professional actor/singer/voice-overs artist, to working alongside Academy Award winners and now having the joy of being a coach to visionary entrepreneurs, speakers, presenters, coaches and leading international and Australian actors. Every day I coach and see inspiring individuals achieving exquisite results personally and professionally. They start to achieve their dreams, let go of old habits that are holding them back, gain newfound courage and self-belief, step into their work spotlight, raise their passion and purpose, connect more authentically and joyfully with their audience, attract their ideal clients and abundance, receive praise and standing ovations, win awards and much much more. What a gift! Here's a bit of my story and my journey to being a coach. Jennifer x |
MY UPBRINGING & CULTURES
I was born in Sydney, Australia and grew up from the age of 2 in Vanuatu (a French-speaking South Pacific tropical island off the east coast of Australia). I spoke the 3 languages of the island - English, French and the national creole language Bislama - and went to French primary schools. Added to that, my father spoke 9 languages (his joy, not his job!) and he loved text. Both my parents loved theatre and musicals, so you can see that my upbringing was filled with voice, cultures, languages and creative expression.
When we returned to Australia from Vanuatu, I spent years feeling lost as to which culture and self I was ... or "should be" ... Australian, islander or French. It was a deep grappling for years to find my true identity and my voice, and the "aha" moment came many years later when I realised I'm not simply one of those cultures, I'm all three. It helped me embrace my own voice in the world.

FINDING MY VOICE & EXPRESSION
During my years of feeling lost, I turned to the arts to help me find my self-expression and my true voice.
First I trained as a singer, then I graduated at 22 with my Bachelor of Arts in Acting. I performed professionally in Australia and New Zealand as an actor, singer and voice overs artist ... performing in 2,000 seat theatres, solo at a VIP Dinner for the Prime Minister of Australia, and recording voice-overs for leading brands such as NRMA, AMP, Prouds Jewellers and Kennards Hire.
My first calling came when I graduated as a Voice and Dialect Coach from the renowned National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney. With my acting, singing and coaching toolkits alongside my childhood skills in languages, I became highly sought after as a coach. And there began my career in training international actors, stage/screen productions and visionary entrepreneurs to transform their voices, their performance and presentation skills ... and their success.

A LIFE IN PROFESSIONAL VOICE
I've spent 20 years coaching award winning actors including Rose Byrne, Sam Neill, David Wenham, Yvonne Strahovski and more. I've had the pleasure of working alongside Academy Award winners, and for leading companies including Sony Pictures, ABC TV, Sydney Theatre Company and Opera Australia.
I was the coach on Cate Blanchett's drama series "Stateless" for ABC/Netflix and have taught at prestigious institutions including the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS).
I've had the joy of coaching speakers, authors, presenters, designers, directors, wellness and yoga coaches, a prosperity expert and more to sound their best, feel fabulous and shine!

A LIFE ... BY DESIGN
As a multi-passionate creative and a lover of all things design/style, a few years ago I stretched my creativity once again.
In 2016 I graduated with my Certificate IV in Design and the following year I graduated with my Styling Diploma, both from the International School of Colour & Design (ISCD). I studied everything from client briefs, design & colour psychology, business identity & branding, residential & office styling, visual merchandising, editorial styling and more. I won 6 awards during my design studies: two Awards of Excellence (first place) and four Highly Commended Awards (second place) ... and I walked away even more passionate that we can all achieve anything we commit our mind, heart, vision and time to!
Our life and our voice are our own design.
Every day we make choices on how we think, feel, behave and react ... and how we speak up in our lives, careers and in the world.
I know from my lived experience that we can each transform and design our lives ... from the sound of our voice, the quality of our performances and presentations, to our career visions. I've done that ... and I know that you can too.
Whether we're making a film, improving our speaking voice or rehearsing for an upcoming presentation, we all have a story to share. We all want to feel, sound and look fabulous ... and to make a great impact!
It'd be my pleasure to help you achieve your goals!
