Jody Gnant coaching Kelly Ortiz for MTV's Made

Her life casting site and her work with her band have made Jody Gnant a life casting star, but she was also recently featured on an episode of the MTV series, Made, in which she coached a local Mesa high schooler in how to write songs and become a performer. The teenager in question is Red Mountain High student Kelly Ortiz, who admitted that before appearing on the MTV show she wasn't very feminine and had few, if any, female friends. life casting star Jody Gnant was brought in to coach Ortiz toward her goal of becoming a singer, helping her to overcome her stage fright, and even assisting her in turning one of her poems into a song. According to an article in Phoenix's New Times newspaper, "Out of everybody I met and worked with, Jody was the best one. We’re thinking about getting together and co-writing a song. She wants me to get out and perform, and she thinks I can do it. I think I can, too.” Although Jody Gnant is already a star in her own right, the exposure on MTV's Made can only help her further her own career.
