I started seeing Jen because every performer I truly look up to, has seen Jen. From our very first session she was straight to the point, clear, and HONEST, and for the first time in a long time, I walked out of a studio actually feeling like a singer.
I wholeheartedly believe some of the biggest roles I’ve booked in my career have come from having Jen’s guidance from beginning to end. In that room I’ve cried, laughed, rebuilt my confidence, and worked through some of the biggest hurdles I’ve faced in understanding my voice, especially as a dancer.
Jen is so much more than a singing teacher!! She’s a key part of my support network and her care has played a huge role in shaping not only my voice, but my career. She is THE ONE!

I came to Jen as a weekly vocal coach after graduating from WAAPA. Jen soon became much more than this! With advice about the industry, casting agents and golden information she soon became a life saver. Jen has such in-depth knowledge as a singer and performer and can always answer my obscure questions, no matter the topic. Her studio space is friendly and open, much like Jen herself and she has allowed my voice to grow exponentially.

I first started working with Jen when I felt my musical theatre career had started to plateau, and my singing technique needed some help. I was overseas at the time, so I started lessons with Jen over zoom (which I highly recommend if you can’t be in Sydney).
With her training in both musical theatre and classical voice, as well as real-world industry experience, Jen diligently keeps abreast of the current Australian musical theatre industry at large, and what it’s requiring of its auditionees and performers. Jen has helped me with not only my vocal technique, but preparing an audition book that best suits me, and how to best prepare myself, both vocally and mentally, for specific auditions.
Since working with Jen (both over zoom and in person) I have gone from feeling vocally stuck in my career to booking three commercial musicals in a row - Groundhog Day, Sunset Boulevard and Wicked - a feat which I am convinced wouldn’t have been possible without her help.

After graduating and struggling to understand my voice, weekly coaching with Jen not only transformed my technique but improved my entire audition process. Jen offers the most comprehensive and extensive vocabulary from acting, repertoire, technique and mindset to ensure you feel your most confident and ready in the room. Every single one of my successful audition experiences started in her vocal studio! Even after recovering from a vocal injury, Jen's patiences and care whilst teaching helped me to regain trust in myself and my voice. I will always always recommend her to anyone wanting to level up!

After graduating from WAAPA, it was paramount for me to find a teacher that placed equal value on vocal technique and acting through song. Jen was exactly this - but so much more! After four years of working with Jen, I can proudly say that I have found a coach and confidant who has created a safe, nurturing space, and has diversified my abilities while fostering my individuality. Jen’s guidance has taken my voice lightyears beyond what I ever could have hoped it could be. When it comes to audition preparation or expanding your repertoire, Jen’s complex understanding of musical theatre, both as a genre and as an industry, is truly incomparable. I cannot recommend Jen highly enough; without her tutelage and support, I could never have possibly seen the success and improvement that I have.

I started getting regular lessons with Jen after working with her at NIDA. I wanted to give my voice and performance more freedom and stop second-guessing myself. Jen helped me appreciate my own uniqueness, which was instrumental in getting me my first professional gig in Muriel's Wedding the Musical. Jen is an excellent, friendly teacher with a deep knowledge of singing, performance and the industry. I would recommend her to anyone — she just gets it!

I was a quivering wreck at auditions before I came to Jennifer. She readily identified my weak spots and established technique, placement and breathing skills to present a more confident and competent figure in the audition room. Jennifer provided me with a whole lot of ideas for songs that fit the kind of roles of l would be considered for. A lot of condensed learning goes on in a class with Jennifer, all with an unrelenting eye for detail, care and humour. If you want to book a job, your best bet is to book a session with Jennifer Peers.
JORDAN SHEA
I went to Jen to prepare for my first professional audition in ten years. I had a lot of anxiety over re-entering this space, and it was all quickly dispelled and my own abilities reaffirmed through Jen's combination of deeply specific technique training, and the ability to seamlessly craft a safe space for preparing singers of all contexts. With Jen's help, I booked The Producers, and have since gone back into professional musical theatre. I'd recommend Jen without any hesitation. You will see the improvement in yourself, your voice and your mind set quickly, and effectively.

I have never experienced such rapid growth in my singing as I have with Jen Peers. After four years of studying Music Theatre, I’ve discovered in just over a year with Jen entirely new sounds and techniques I never thought possible - an incredibly exciting experience as a performer. I appreciate Jen's energy; she is thorough, honest and organised, always going above and beyond for her students. Each lesson leaves me with so much more than just singing advice. I plan to continue learning with Jen for many years to come!

Still beginning to learn about my voice, I felt like I had so many questions I was ashamed to ask. I was scared of being heard singing, yet I knew I wanted to create a soulful connection to my voice. Jen creates a holistic space where I felt at ease failing, while nurturing my desire to grow an interconnected relationship between voice, mind, and spirit.
Meeting me exactly where I was at, Jen creates a space of complete transparency. She helped me navigate performance anxiety and numerous auditions from both a technical and storytelling perspective, as well as record multiple self tapes in her home studio. She built my confidence, and without her guidance, I wouldn’t have booked the role of Jennifer Parker in Back to the Future.

I found it really difficult finding a voice teacher in Sydney that worked for me and then I went to Jen who was the perfect fit! Not only is she a fantastic technical coach outlining so many things about singing and my voice that I didn't know but she is also wonderful acting coach- which is super important for me! She makes me feel safe and creative but also pushes me outside my comfort zone (which I love!!) I always feel like she really has my back and cares! Thanks Jen!

What I love about Jen (in the nicest way possible), is she is an absolute nerd when it comes to knowing about the voice - anatomically, and as an instrument. What comes with being an absolute nerd is passion and knowledge. Her face lights up when she talks about it. You can tell she cares about it, and cares about you. She keeps learning, she keeps expanding, and in my eyes, is what a teacher should be. Sharing her inspired wisdom. Oh yeah, and a helluva singer herself.
MADELEINE WIGHTON
Jen Peers is a life saver! Her detailed teaching approach regarding vocal technique as well as imaginative acting nuances is phenomenal. She intelligently and practically explains ideas and concepts that have helped me immensely. She encourages me to take risks and follow creative impulses. I particularly love the fact that Jen still gets singing lessons herself. As she continues to learn she is able to pass this onto her students so we have an ever-growing pool of knowledge and skills. Jen is always amazingly encouraging, witty and professional while working with me to help achieve my goals and be the best performer I can be, always looking onwards and upwards.
SINEAD CRISTAUDO
Being able to walk into a singing lesson with Jennifer Peers is something I am continually and outstandingly grateful for. Whenever I have been warring with a song I always leave my lesson with Jen with a fresh perspective and an alternate route at which I feel prepared and excited to take the song down. Jen is very concerned with and dedicated to helping you achieve your long term goals, whether that be as broad as working on a particular tone quality or as specific as releasing tension to relieve a fast vibrato as it was with me. I would (and do) tell everyone who is looking for a vastly qualified, passionate and fun vocal teacher to have even just one lesson with Jen, knowing that if they have one lesson with her there is no doubt they will want another.
TONY BLACK
I came to Jennifer because she was recommended to me by the director of my musical theatre show (Girl From The North Country). I had raw talent but had no idea how to properly use my voice. Jennifer was a life saver; she didn’t communicate with me in a general fashion, but rather tailored her notes specifically to how my mind worked. Having worked with her over the last year, I feel empowered as a singer. I used to question whether I was a professional singer; but after working with Jennifer, I know I am. I would highly, highly recommend her!
