Testimonials
If you’re curious what working together could look (and feel) like,
these voices from actors and creatives who’ve worked with me
might just tell it best.
Jason Tobin
Jenru helped me immensely when he coached me for A Thousand Blows. The way he breaks down the dialogue, the meaning, and the sounds is second to none. Combined with his supportive, kind nature and the materials he prepares for you, he truly is an exceptional coach.
Ami Okumura Jones
Jenru combines a number of things that make him excellent at what he does: an exacting attention to detail, a delicate understanding of each individual actor’s style and needs, and a deep awareness of what it means to perform in English when it is not your first language without compromising your own voice or identity. His support on My Neighbour Totoro has been integral to honing in on a sensitive but robust performance. I cannot imagine anyone else in the same role.

Jenru has a calm, assured presence, and shows great care in building one's confidence in their own voice, as well as caters his advice and practices so that they can be specific to each person's needs. He also knows how to connect the physical, vocal technique with one's imagination and creativity which I found extremely useful as a performer.
