Voice Coaching sessions with Jessica Hansen are typically a series of 5 sessions, 1 hour each, weekly. During these sessions, Jessica will craft and teach you exercises and techniques specific to your voice and your needs. These sessions are 1-on-1 and include a session in the studio to work with applying the techniques to tracking sessions. After you sign up below, Jessica will be in touch to schedule your first session. Note: Your supervisor must sign off on the time commitment needed to attend each of the 5 sessions, and you must be NPR staff.
