​

As a lifelong student of voice and vocal pedagogy, Jacobs strives to stay up to date on modern research in voice pedagogy, including studying under Dr. Johan Sundberg, Dr. Brian Gill, and Dr. Filipa Lã in Malmköping, Sweden in their "Science of the Singing Voice" intensive workshop. She takes her role as a vocologist seriously, using science and evidence-based tools in her voice studio for voice habilitation, and, if necessary, rehabilitation. Through SOVT postures and exercises in practice and in the studio, her passion is to build healthy voices for lifelong sustainability in speaking and singing. Brynn is a proud student of Dr. Brian Gill, using tools created by Gill Mindful Voice Training for quick and effective changes in voice technique that can be used for a lifetime of healthy singing.

In 2022, Brynn graduated Summa Cum Laude from NYU Steinhardt on a full scholarship, where she received her Bachelor of Music in Classical Voice, receiving an award for "Exceptional Contribution and Service in Classical Voice".
