Outside the studio, she enjoys painting, working out, and unwinding with her favorite television shows, Mad Men and Curb Your Enthusiasm

In an internet landscape increasingly dominated by AI-generated voices and recycled ideas, it has never been more important to hear from real people. Artificial intelligence can try to sound human, but it can’t replicate lived experience, or emotion. It doesn’t break rules, it follows them. To JoLeigh, being Passionately Vocal means pushing past algorithms to speak honestly about what matters, even when it’s uncomfortable.
