KATERINA MORAITIS - HEAD OF VOICE & COURSE LEADER FOR MFA VOICE

Jennifer brings to NIDA and our students a wealth of professional experience and knowledge. Her training and career as both a performer and leading coach means she leads by example, coaches our students to industry standards, and knows what makes a great impact locally and internationally.

In her work at NIDA, Jennifer trains our Acting degree students in voice, performance and text skills through group tutorials, private feedback sessions and coaches their public performances and productions. She trains our MFA Voice students in vocal direction for the theatre and supervises their teaching practice to get the best results out of individuals and groups.

Jennifer’s passion for helping creatives to excel inspires a love of learning, discovery, growth and mastery. She allows the process, skills and technique to become organic, integrated and highly effective for the needs or event at hand. These are essential to elevate our students’ current learning, individual impact and their future career success.

I would highly recommend Jennifer to any training institute, organisation, production or individual needing high level coaching that will help you produce international results.

Voice & Performance Coaching

YVONNE STRAHOVSKI - ACTOR (THE HANDMAID'S TALE, DEXTER, STATELESS)

Jennifer White is the consummate professional in all areas of her work. She approaches her coaching with extreme detail and finesse and has an abundant knowledge.

I have known Jennifer for many, many years and absolutely trust her to take on any voice/dialect and relay the information with precision and ease.

I have been lucky enough to have both been taught by Jennifer at drama school at the start of my career and worked with her professionally in the entertainment industry, and I highly recommend working with her.

Events Coaching: Out There Productions

ANDREW BEE - PRODUCER & DIRECTOR

I have had the good fortune of working with Jennifer White on two occasions and have found her to be exceptional at what she does. Her attention to detail, research and preparation ensure that she delivers the highest possible outcomes.

Our company was engaged to produce all of the major events and Masses for World Youth Day 2008 held at Barangaroo and Randwick in Sydney.

Jennifer was engaged as Presentation and Voice Coach for these events and worked with people from around the world. Public speaking was initially beyond their comfort zone.

As well as coaching the international speakers, Jennifer worked closely with the four Australians acting as MCs to the crowds at Barangaroo and Randwick. In that role, she worked with them on their live presentation and voice skills, voice-overs, crowd motivation, ad-libbing during live telecast, the pronunciation of international guests' and performers' names, script writing, microphone technique and more.

The event itself had limited time and the environment was highly stressful. Jennifer worked quietly and calmly and each of them made their presentations with passion and professionalism to the hundreds of thousands of people in the live audience and the many millions watching the broadcasts.

More recently we engaged Jennifer as the Foreign Languages Coach for the National Anthems at the 2015 Netball World Cup Opening Ceremony at Sydney Olympic Park. The 7 non-English anthems she coached had 10 languages in them. Jennifer's meticulous research, preparation and attention to detail meant that the choir achieved a level of pronunciation and authenticity well beyond my expectation.

Jennifer worked with the choir in the rehearsal room and also in the recording studio. Throughout the process she collaborated with the Creative Director, the Choral Director and the musical arranger. The resulting recordings and live performances were exceptional. So many of the organisers and representatives of the international netball teams asked me how the choir managed to pronounce their anthems so wonderfully. Jennifer White is the answer.

Jennifer is a wonderful coach and educator, a team player and a joy to work with. She brings passion and enthusiasm to her work and her results are world class.

Voice Coaching

GEORGINA WALKER - ACTOR & YOGA TEACHER

Jennifer White is an empowering vocal coach and for women. I am an actress and yoga teacher in my late 20s, and over the course of several sessions she helped me find a resonance in my voice I had always hoped was there, but needed the guidance, patience, and expertise from a coach of her calibre to find.

Jennifer is an incredibly kind, warm person, with a palpable passion for the human voice and its limitless possibilities. Her approach is holistic, her passion contagious, and she invests her whole self into her students’ development and subsequent achievements. On top of being an outstanding voice coach, Jennifer is an insightful performance coach. With her, you are getting a voice, performance and life coach all in one. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone whose voice is an integral part of their livelihood.

Jennifer has been a valued colleague of the Performance staff and equally respected by her students.

She has a depth of embodied knowledge and pedagogy about voice and performance. Jennifer is a fine teacher, skilled in practice, and perhaps most importantly she effortlessly instils a joy of learning in her workplace.

Jennifer is a confident woman who constantly strives to learn more. She has made considerable and consistent contributions to the performing arts in this country as a voice specialist and performer. She will be an asset to any institution and ensemble fortunate enough to work with her.

Voice & Performance Coaching

JEREMY LINDSAY TAYLOR - ACTOR (ROMPER STOMPER, OFFSPRING)

The first thing I do when I land a gig or a screen test is pick up the phone and dial the masterful Jennifer White.

Jennifer has a gift, and that gift is genuine love and passion for artists, speakers and their lifelong journey discovering their craft.

She brings an infectious joy and humility that cuts right through any self doubt, giving us the tools to be the best we can be ... and believe it!!!!

I have grown as a man and as an actor since meeting this incredible woman and am honoured to call her a friend.

Events Coaching: Netball World Cup

DR JANE MISKOVIC-WHEATLEY - CREATIVE DIRECTOR

The Netball World Cup is the largest netball tournament in the world, and Sydney hosted it in 2015 at Sydney Olympic Park for the first time in 25 years.

The tournament broke the world record of the largest live and broadcast audience for the sport, and overall was an exceptional success.

We had the challenge of presenting the 16 national anthems on the first day of competition, and wanted to create a special moment for each and every competing team.

We worked with VOX Youth Philharmonic Choir to perform each a capella anthem live. It was a huge ask for the choir to perform the anthems in language, 11 in all, and they could not have done it without Jennifer White.

Jennifer was the foreign language coach and worked tirelessly to learn the anthems in each language. She coached the choir in each sung language down to every syllable and intention. Every anthem was presented flawlessly, and the teams were so touched many were moved to tears.

I don't know anyone else in the industry that has the performance, vocal, musical and language interest, knowledge and experience to have made this project so successful other than Jennifer White, and I am so grateful for her excellent contribution. As always, she was a delight to work with, a consummate professional, and her passion for her work is inspiring.

Voice Coaching: Neil Gooding Productions

NEIL GOODING - PRODUCER & DIRECTOR (AUSTRALIA, NEW YORK & LONDON)

Jennifer White has been a constant throughout my producing and directing career. Almost every project that I have worked on has involved Jennifer, and benefited from her talents and dedication.

Jennifer is one of Australia’s leading voice coaches, but she offers so much more than that. She is a gifted director and acting coach. With Jennifer, it is never just about voice – it is far more holistic, covering vocal placement, rhythm and performance intention.

I can not recommend her highly enough … there is a reason that I go back to her show after show. She is the best!

Voice & Performance Coaching

JONATHAN GAVIN - WRITER (OFFSPRING, SISTERS) & ACTOR

I smile when I recall in a demanding and stressful show, on which Jennifer was the Voice Coach and I played the title role, her keen ear and sensitive guidance were essential to the preparation, protection and maintenance not only of my voice, but of my sanity.

Jennifer is able to give finely detailed vocal notes clearly and supportively. She seeks constant refinement without ever seeming fussy or damning, and she knows how to time her notes so that they will be the most effective and useful.

Jennifer always displays a high degree of integrity, responsibility and discipline, which makes working with her rewarding.

On a personal note, while I'm sure it is clear that I have the warmest regard for Jennifer as a colleague, I would like to add that I hold her in equally high regard as a human being. She is an artist that I greatly respect, and also greatly admire.
