Unlock Your Singing Superstar with Shondra Jepperson

JOJO COTTLE, 2ND GRADUATE OF ACADEMY OF DRAMATIC ARTS IN NYC AND WORKING ACTOR IN NEW YORK CITY.

"I first met Shondra when I was 15 years old. I had just moved from Chicago where I was working with a personal acting coach and was looking to continue working with a professional and coach privately. Being an aspiring actress in a small town, I knew I needed someone who understood and was still working in the industry.

Shondra was able to give me guidance and coaching to enable me to continue with my passion and pursue it long term. She taught me how to work and prepare to work on monologues, and songs. With her help I auditioned for acting conservatories in London, New York and Los Angeles, and landed a place at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in the Big Apple. Having just finished my first year at the Academy, I truly believe that this opportunity wouldn't have been possible without the intensive coaching of the wonderful, the magnificent: Shondra Jepperson."

CONNIE AVERY, SUPERVISING MANAGER W/GORE INDUSTRIES, MUSICIAN

After a devastating childhood experience singing in the church choir, my voice fell silent for the next 40 years. Every time I tried to sing, I was the brunt of family jokes.As time passed, my fear of singing, especially in public, only grew. Tired of being gripped by fear, I faced it head-on and began voice lessons with Shondra. Within two months, she had me on stage in her church singing a solo and now I sing weekly in that church choir. My greatest fear has been transformed into one of my enjoyable past times. As for those critical family members, I shocked them all with the surprise performance at my daughter’s wedding in Hawaii singing Over the Rainbow while playing ukulele! Now we all sing and play music every time we get together!"

"Shondra has helped my son Lazor go from being terrified to be on stage to loving it and winning both the Cottonwood Idol and Northern Arizona’s Got Talent singing competitions and singing in theatre. He always comes back from lessons more vibrant & full of his life force. It has given him confidence which overflows into other areas of life including basic communication with others. Her guidance & enthusiasm brings out the best in my child & has opened doors for him that otherwise may never have been explored."

JULE JOHNSON, WORKING ACTOR IN LOS ANGELES

"I worked under Shondra's excellent guidance for five years, and what a tremendous experience it was. She laid the groundwork for me when I started with her at age ten, and the lessons remain in my hear to this day! I'm now 22 yrs. old and acting professionally in Los Angeles! Over the course of those five years Shondra coached me on monologue development, voice over work, improv, stage presence, and even breathing technique. Not only does she teach about the craft, but also about the business side and how to handle everything that comes with being a working artist. It was a fantastic crash course and completely opened my eyes to the world of performing. It's one thing to have a great coach, but Shondra has been and still is a very talented WORKING actor herself and so she is constantly bringing new ideas to her teaching. Her energy is electric and being taught by her is so much fun. I truly recommend her to any aspiring artist."
