Meet Jasmin
The Woman Behind JAK Vocals
​
I fell in love with music at an early age, attending music schools from the age of three and theatre schools as a teenager. I then graduated from Chichester Conservatoire with a First-Class BA (hons) degree in Musical Theatre (Triple Threat) and Central School of Speech and Drama with an MA in Music Theatre with Distinction. Throughout my training, I have always marvelled over the mechanics of the human voice and I truly geeked out in my spare time. I quickly became well versed in many techniques, ranging from a classical style to the more modern Estill method.
​
Based on my own vocal training, I have developed a mindful, integrated approach to teaching and coaching that aims to connect with my clients on a personal level. I try to create a tailored vocal journey for each individual. During my 4 years of professional training in musical theatre and whilst working professionally in the performance industry, I have always had an interest in vocal anatomy and voice production which sparked a passion for vocal tuition.
This grew into what is now:
Jak Vocals
All levels of student are welcome. I've helped students with:
-
Professional/drama school auditions
-
Improving confidence
-
Musical skills, including theory
-
Growing a vocal awareness
-
Building vocal rigour and improving technique
-
Repertoire coaching and suggestions
-
OR simply fuelling an enjoyment for singing.
I also have experience teaching children and adult beginners in piano, guitar and ukulele, guiding them through musical grading systems such as ABRSM, LAMDA and Trinity (including Singing For Musical Theatre).
​
Alongside building and running a vocal coaching business from the bottom up, I have worked professionally in the performance industry for 6 years and continue to do so, appearing in a variety of shows with many different performance styles including performing in West End Venues such as Lyric Theatre, Cambridge Theatre, Cadogan Hall & The Actor's Church. See more about this HERE.
I also have experience in professional industry auditions having personally auditioned for West End Musicals, Off West End runs, top standard Cruise Lines and more, as well is Fringe shows.
​
Eager to continue learning and growing to best help my students, I am very proud to have qualified as a Vocal Health First Aider and studied for a Postgraduate degree in Voice Pedagogy from Voice Study Centre (affiliated with UWTSD) and am now working towards a qualification in Mindfulness for Singers with VHE.
​
I look forward to hopefully working with and getting to know you! Feel free to get in touch and ask me more questions!
