“Jo has a completely unique combination of approaches, having trained in Suzuki Method of Actor Training and Linklater Voice training. She provides keen insights and observations of what she is seeing and hearing and always in a manner that is warm and encouraging. The supportive environment she creates allows people to expand and make discoveries at their own pace.”

- Associate Professor Frances Barbe, Associate Dean of Performance, WAAPA

“Jo Loth’s workshop revealed my voice as an instrument I had yet to truly know. By loosening what was held and opening what was hidden, I found a freer way to speak, perform and connect.”

— Buddy Malbasias, Independent Artist

“ Jo Loth is an outstanding teacher - perceptive and exceptionally clear in her communication. As a designated Linklater voice teacher, she possesses a profound understanding of the subtleties of the human voice and the complex relationship between breath, impulse, emotion, and expression. Her sessions are rigorous, insightful, and always grounded in care. What makes Jo’s teaching so effective is not simply her technical knowledge, but her ability to create a trusting and genuinely supportive environment in which actors feel safe to explore and take risks. Her guidance is precise yet deeply humane. She has a remarkable capacity to recognise what each individual student needs to unlock greater freedom, resonance and authenticity in their voice.”

- Simon Woods, Co-founder of Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre

  I left Jo Loth's workshop feeling energised and confident in my voice. Jo's ability to lock in into the work while also remaining a lovely nurturing presence is truly a feat. She took time and care into each of her students which could not only be heard in their voices but seen in their relaxed and confident bodies.

- Rori Eglinton, Actor/Creator

“My time learning with Jo Loth was truly transformative for my voice and vocal practice. After spending years with vocal damage and then a few more in vocal therapy I assumed there was only so much I could do with my voice. After a year of studying with Jo, I booked my first professional voiceover gig with WorkSafe. I am so grateful for Jo’s teachings; she has connected me to a voice I didn’t know I had.”

— Xanthe Blaise, Actor

“Jo Loth is one of the most thorough and informed performance teachers in Australia today. Her dedication to detail, her deep understanding of theatrical frameworks, and her outgoing and friendly manner make her the perfect teacher for anyone looking to begin or improve their theatrical journey. I highly recommend Jo’s creative processes that will awaken the artist within you.” 

- Dr Margi Brown Ash, Performance maker and counsellor

“Thank you so much for the Vocal Confidence one day workshop and for the resources you sent through via e-mail.  Your teaching was, as always, extraordinarily excellent and I have learnt so much more from your teaching and guidance.  I have come away from the workshops feeling revitalised in my creative practices and ready for any challenges.  Thank you, as ever”

-  Lyn Stevenson, Voice Actor. 

“After a break from acting roles, training with Jo was an incredibly powerful way to retune my mental focus, strengthen and anchor my body work, and release my voice. The beautiful blend of guided practice and deep reflection helped me feel confident in my process and ability. It was a really wonderful experience.”  

- Lucinda Shaw, Actor and singer/ songwriter

“Jo’s approach to vocal training has truly been life-changing for me. A former classroom teacher, I’ve struggled endlessly with vocal tension. With Jo’s warmth, generosity and depth of knowledge, she has helped me to unlock a voice I am proud of, that supports me in the work I do at Zen Zen Zo and personally as I remember my Wiradjuri language and culture. I find her work to be accessible and rewarding. I cannot recommend Jo enough.” 

-Nicole Reilly (Previous Artistic Director of Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre)

"It is Jo's vast experience as both a performer and a teacher of the Suzuki Method that makes her Physical Theatre workshops stand out. Her methodologies and temperament as a teacher allow her to work with both experienced and inexperienced performers alike. Working with Jo gave me a new perspective on the Suzuki Method affording me the time to experiment with training until I found it in my own body” 

- Stephen Quinn, Executive Director of Backbone Youth Arts
