Singing with Jessica C.

Hi! My name is Jessica and I can't wait to help you find YOUR voice because YOUR voice is unlike anyone else's . No two people sound exactly the same; isn't that a beautiful thing? I truly believe it is, so much so that I've dedicated over two decades of my life to it. After double majoring at the University of Delaware (music, communication) I continued my private voice study with coaches based in LA and NYC and soon began sharing my knowledge of the voice with my own students, all the while landing my own gigs on-stage and on-screen. Watching my students exceed their own expectations has been just as much, if not even more rewarding than performing for myself. I am fortunate enough to say that teaching, performing, recording, writing, producing and arranging music has taken me all over the world. Through staying true to my voice, I continue to create a life I love and my students are an incredibly important piece of that life! Some things you should know about me: - From 2003-Present Day I've trained with several classical and broadway style voice coaches as well as NYC's most in-demand pop-style vocal coach. I've spent many years performing in choirs and professional a cappella groups. - In 2007 I began teaching private lessons in my hometown and continued to do so sporadically throughout college and afterwards in NYC - I recorded with a major record label (now Capitol Records) and performed with a classical crossover group on PBS Television - I performed on NBC's The Sing-Off with my group The Deltones for which I was once a director, arranger and vocal coach. - I sang with Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks and Carrie Underwood, filling in for Emmylou Harris - I've shared a stage and gone on tour with GUSTER, The Band Perry, Marc Broussard, LAUV, Shoffy, Pentatonix and more. - My work as a songwriter, recording artist, vocalist and vocal recording engineer & producer has garnered roughly 15+ Million Streams over the past few years. - My original music and cover songs have been heard on CBS, NBC, PBS and Disney's Freeform Television. Question: Cool, so what does this mean about your style of teaching? Answer: Glad you asked. 1. I am most interested in your personal, authentic style and making sure you are accessing YOUR voice in the most healthy way possible. Singing is a full body and mind activity and I like to take a comprehensive approach, teaching concepts that you can take with you into other areas of life. Many students want to "have better intonation", "sing more on key" or "sing more freely" and YES YES YES LET's definitely do that! Just not solely with ear training tricks and repetitive scales. 2. I'm best suited for students who prefer to sing modern and contemporary music or craft their own songs. I am also a great resource for recording studio-prep work. 3. As a working recording artist, I bring real-life experience into my coaching with a strong understanding of the modern music world. While I've performed musical theater and classical music, there are more specialized coaches better equipped for those genres.
