LJ started studying with Liz in the mid 2010s, navigating transition and testosterone HRT. It’s a full circle moment, and we love it!

Jay’s personal nature resides in the liminal and liberated. As a singer, they describe themselves as a Zwischenfach (meaning “switches voice types”). In research, they continually disrupt accepted norms about perceptions of gender, race, body type, age, and voice parts. Their teaching style is playful and informed, connecting you with your own identities through voice. With beginners, Jay creates an environment of patience and curiosity that lays the foundations for new voice techniques.

We recommend Jay if you:

• Are brand new to speech or singing

• Have a trans kiddo looking for support with voice

• Want to learn with a fellow neurodivergent person
