The Rising Voices 2011 slam whet her appetite for spoken word, and she is resolved to use 2013 to develop both her performative and her written craft. As well as being an avid poet, Jess is a passionate dancer and choreographer, intuitive actress, flute teacher, hospitality-personality, and aerobics junkie!

Jennifer Austin
Born and raised in the United States with 14 years of theatrical experience and 10 years of classical vocal training, I am a versatile actress and singer who is professional, friendly and driven.
Graduating from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a degree in Theatre, Communication and a music minor, I felt globally ready to start my career. Since graduating from University, I moved to Melbourne, Australia acting in numerous shows including Peter Pan at the Pollywoodside, An Everyday Affair, and Nauseas Reprieve that was featured at the Fringe Festival. Not only have I performed in the fringe festival but the International Comedy Festival in Melbourne.
Singing and performing is my passion but I also had the chance to teach at Westend performing arts school in Melbourne.
I taught private and group singing lessons along with musical theatre classes ranging from ages 4-40. Many of my students have competed in singing competitions and have been awarded or recognised for their talent.
After spending two years in Melbourne Australia, I relocated to Auckland New Zealand to further my career in the performing arts.
I actively seek auditions for TVC, Film, and Theatre. Along with performing in Auckland, I also teach private singing and theatre lessons.
