THE jbt STORY & PHILOSOPHY
Jolie-Beth McWhirter is the founder of JBT and is currently a private singing teacher, acting coach, confidence booster, and a supporter of local theatre in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.
JBT started one day when a simple phone conversation with a friend took place. Her friend explained to Jolie-Beth that her daughter had a pretty voice but was too afraid to sing out loud. Jolie-Beth suggested that she could help. Just like that, JBT was born! That, of course, is the short story.
Over time, Jolie-Beth Talent received positive reviews and word got around. More students came. They began to realize their full potential, aced their auditions, and got cast. They felt their voice improve in just one lesson and grow more mature over time. Now, JBT is a thriving place to learn, grow, and experience the love of singing, acting, and performing.
Build it and they will come! That's what they say!
