I’ve been lucky enough to be coached by both Jinjara and Jordan for many self-tape auditions, and they are always so kind, knowledgeable, and supportive! They create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere where I feel free to play. Their valuable feedback over the years has truly enhanced my performances. I always leave our sessions feeling happy, confident, and proud of my work. I would highly recommend coaching with either Jinjara or Jordan to anyone!
