Philosophy
The human voice is the most unique instrument there is. Nothing has the power to move people and convey emotions more effectively. When teaching a voice student, regardless of age or experience, I consider all facets of that person's unique qualities and skills. My goals are to guide that person towards reaching their greatest potential. However, the voice must be trained with explicit attention to proper breath support, diction, vowel formation, and performance ability. A singer must train like the athlete they are, including exercises that will develop their ability to interpret any genre of music from pop to opera.

“Working with Jennifer as a voice coach has been a pure joy. Jennifer has an intuitive ability to know when to encourage, when to provide honest critique, and how to unlock a person’s vocal ability. As a professional opera singer, her understanding of the physiology of breath work and vocal technique is superb. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is serious about improving or honing their vocal skills. Jennifer is also a kind, energetic, supportive, and all-around lovely person. Lessons are a weekly reward to myself!”

“Jennifer Osborne is an expert voice teacher. A renowned professional singer herself, her experience allows her to give each student the benefit of actual performance practices with patience and professionalism. She guides each to find their best voice.
