T h i s i s J a r e d
Due to his unique inter-disciplinary training, he has rapidly become a sought-after pedagogue in the field due to his integration of practical studio skills with the most up-to-date voice science. His process is based on a “Bel Canto/Can Belto” approach in which the voice is continually being cross-trained to maintain maximum flexibility and expressivity. In the studio he combines contemporary voice science with training in Lessac, Fitzmaurice, Feldenkrais, Skinner Releasing, Estill, Cicely Berry, functional anatomy, laryngeal manipulation, neuroscience, dance technique, and various acting methodologies to foster the best, most emotionally connected singing in his students. To that end, Jared still studies voice regularly, attends and presents at workshops, maintains a physical practice, and works on his own acting in order to best serve his students.

He has served on the faculties of Penn State and CAP21/Molloy college, as well as the S.T.A.T.E. high school summer musical theatre program.

“Listen! Let me tell you something! From my very first lesson with Jared he unlocked a part of my voice that I thought I had lost. Not only is he kind, encouraging, funny, and of course knowledgeable but his formula for teaching is highly efficient. I use his warm up tried and true for every project I am prepping for. As someone who has been labeled with a “unique” voice, I felt nothing but celebrated in my voice. There was no trying to change what I sounded like, but learning how to use my voice so that it is adaptable to all styles. Very lucky to have a voice teacher who from the very start added to my toolbox and affirmed the tools I already possessed. Looking forward to years of growing my instrument with Jared! Asè!”

"Jared has an unbelievable ability to effectively communicate. His knowledge of the voice is so vast and he takes the time to get to know every individual voice and what it needs. He is patient in exploring different ideas and approaches- he is truly invested in the individuality of each of his students. Jared is the first person I go to when I am working on difficult or demanding material. He knows how to find an approach that is healthy and dependable and consistent. Jared has widened my range and my vocal abilities so greatly."

I met Jared when I was a freshman at the Boston Conservatory. I hadn’t had any formal vocal training and was excited to absorb. The best part of Jared’s training is the ability to meet each singer where they are. He takes what he knows of the voice on an anatomical level; how healthy sound is made across the board. Then he pairs that with how each voice shows up given its lived experience. He treats both aspects as equal parts important. These two components combined curate concrete means to explain the abstract; how to sing with freedom and finesse.

Jared is a master at all things technical and mysterious about the voice. An instrument that is so innately individual from one human to another, requires a transformative teacher who is two things: a deeply informed academic that can thoroughly explain how sound physically manifests in one’s body, and an incredibly empathetic artist that is able to quickly tap into one’s authentic creativity while encouraging and challenging those informed musical choices. A teacher that is able to seamlessly connect very personal and unique dots of thought and sound together as clearly as Jared does, makes him particularly remarkable!

Jared was recommended to me by some cast members when I joined Six on Broadway. I had been dealing with some extreme vocal anxieties for several months and, with the added pressure of making my Broadway debut, was eager to find a vocal coach who understood me. From day one, Jared instilled a calmness and a confidence that we could work through everything as a team. He celebrated my strengths and patiently worked with me from the ground up to release and strengthen my voice. His passion, communication and in-depth knowledge of the anatomy has helped me feel safe to explore, fail and succeed in the room. He has also recommended incredible specialists outside of his studio to further help me in my vocal recovery journey. Jared treats singing like the physical sport it is and I feel very lucky to have someone like him in my corner. 10/10! Five stars!

Working with Jared is unlike working with any other voice teacher I’ve had. There is a depth to his knowledge that makes any vocal goal not only accessible but also easily achievable. There’s no one who loves the science of singing as much as he does and who can make it so easy to understand and implement. And he does it all while making sure you’re having fun and feeling empowered at the same time

Singing with Jared has greatly expanded the way I use and care for my instrument. In less than a year, Jared has helped me develop more range, endurance, and vocal sustainability doing eight shows a week on Broadway. With his brilliant blend of physical and mental cues and exercises, I firmly believe that any vocalist will benefit from his teaching style.

"Working with Jared reminds you that you're capable of doing the things that you otherwise quietly fear you may fail at. I recently worked with him and he gave me my spark back in an area I was really fearing. When working with Jared - you feel safe. I feel excited to go for it. I'm always able to ask questions. And he makes the "technical" aspect of singing, and what we can't "see going on inside" attainable. And so very personable. Highly recommended!"

"Jared has transformed and elevated my voice to new heights that I could have only hoped were possible. He has an incredible way at getting to the root of the blip in your voice and then gives you ways of completely alleviating the issue or ways to dance around it. He is able to incorporate yoga and dance into his sessions to give you a fresh way of thinking about a certain exercise or just to simply relax the nerves away that surround that high C. I can’t say enough wonderful things about all that he has done for me, my confidence and my voice!"

Jared is simply the best vocal teacher I’ve ever worked with. He is so understanding of where I think my own limitations are, and gently pushes me past them. I leave every lesson saying “that was the easiest it’s ever been” to make a sound that I previously deemed hard for me, or even impossible. He is so fun and personable, yet also a complete genius. Jared is a first class musician and teaches that way - I always feel like the songs I work on with Jared are delivered more musically and authentically after I work with him on them. He is a master at distinct styles - of course, musical theater, but also pop. He supports keeping the parts of my voice that make me unique and true to my style, while also incorporating technique so that I can sustain in a career in what I love so much. Everyone would be better for working with Jared. He is truly ICONIC and I am so grateful for him!!!!!

"Jared has about fifteen ways to answer every vocal question! Usually I approach a lesson with a specific issue in mind and I always come out the other side feeling like we conquered it! But more than that, I always leave a lesson feeling like I understand where to go next, what I should work towards, what my new possibilities are. The combination of his bottomless toolbox and endless support makes him my go to teacher and coach!"

"Jared plays two roles in each of his lessons, the first of which is being a masterful and insightful vocal teacher, who trains and enhances his students' instruments for maintenance and continued growth. His understanding of the voice and the science of singing is astounding, but these ideas never feel incomprehensible. He makes sure that you understand what he's saying so that it can be internalized and utilized. The other role is comfort, allowing his students to feel free to make mistakes or look silly. In a business full of judgement, imposed by others and ourselves, Jared eliminates those feelings, allowing you to fail sometimes and to soar and grow others. He truly is one of the best. "

Teaching Philosophy
Singing is one of the most visceral, moving forms of expression available to humans. Everyone has the ability to sing, but many people have entanglements preventing them from using their voice in the most expressive way possible. I believe it is my job as a voice teacher to condition the body and voice to respond to whatever dramatic impulse the singing actor has. Because each singer who walks through my door brings their own background—and resultant physio-emotional holding patterns—into the studio, the path to compelling vocalism is different for each one of them.
As a teacher, I am not interested in gimmicks or “quick tricks” that simply put a bandaid on more fundamental issues. I work with each student to solidify a reliable technique that will sustain them throughout their lives while maintaining the essence of what makes each voice unique. Some students thrive when focusing on dramatic intent, others need very direct technical language, others respond well to imagery, some find their way through movement… My gift lies in my ability to help a wide variety of singers find their most expressive voice and move others.
