PROFESSIONAL & TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Meet Jade Williams, DipLCM, LLCM, MA

Founder of The Vocal Calm Studio | Artist • Educator • Vocal Specialist

With a lifetime of professional performance and teaching experience, I bring a grounded, holistic approach to voice training — blending technical precision, artistic development, and nervous-system awareness. My work draws on classical training, modern pedagogy, and lived performance insight to help singers find calm, confidence, and connection in their voice.

​

A Holistic Approach to Voice

I teach from a whole-body perspective — combining classical techniques with modern voice science, breathwork, and Alexander Technique–informed posture. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, focusing on awareness, emotional connection, and healthy vocal function.

As a specialist in performance anxiety, I help singers develop tools for presence and confidence, using grounding, breath-led exercises, and mindset strategies to ease the physical and emotional impact of nerves.

“The body is the instrument; the mind is its echo.”
