Jess’s approach treats voice as a whole-body practice. Drawing on a varied tool kit including traditional voice pedagogy, somatic work, nervous system awareness and more, people move beyond performance anxiety, vocal inhibition, physical strain and self-consciousness to access expression that feels grounded, connected, and easeful.

This philosophy comes to life in The Sing Easy, Jess’ participatory community singing experience designed specifically for non-singers and reluctant singers. The work centers ease and collective sound, creating spaces where feeling good matters more than perfection.

Across all areas of their work—as musician, performance-maker, teacher, and facilitator—Jess is motivated to create safe containers for exploration of self expression outside the confines of right and wrong, good or bad to access the ease needed for an embodied, authentic life.

Jess works with everyone and loves working with Queer and trans folx, BIPOC and neuro-magical people, late bloomers, perfectionists and anyone who

Jess creates spaces are designed to be low-barrier, participatory, emotionally honest, and artistically rigorous.

Whether on stage, hosting a Sing Easy or in their one on one voice lessons, Jess McAvoy helps people find the courage to be themselves.
