She spent the first chapter of her career doing it from a stage and has spent the second doing it in search.  \nClassically trained as an opera singer\, she earned a B.Mus in opera from the University of Regina and an M.Mus in opera from the University of Ottawa before relocating to New York City on scholarship to continue her studies under Dr. Michael Warren. Her expertise extends into vocal pedagogy and performance longevity. She completed more than 500 hours of formal training in the Alexander Technique\, studying through the BodyMinded program in Australia and at the Montreal Alexander Technique School\, and in 2014 launched The Singers Tension Podcast\, examining the mechanics of healthy\, sustainable singing.  \nIn 2018 she founded Express Voice Studio\, a national platform pairing emerging Canadian artists with private voice students. It was built on a conviction that has shaped her work ever since: artists require financial autonomy to sustain a creative life. The studio was structured to compensate its teaching artists well above the prevailing institutional rate\, and for many of its instructors it became the most lucrative teaching work of their careers.  \nThat work led her to the discipline she practices today. Jordanne is Head of SEO at Outsmart Labs\, a Miami-based digital marketing agency\, where she leads search strategy across the firm’s client portfolio\, directing technical architecture\, content strategy\, and the measurement frameworks that tie organic performance to revenue. \nSecure your spot today for only $20.00!* \nRegister Now!\n  \nPre-registration is required.
