BIOGRAPHY

Charlie-Jade is the Associate Practitioner for Singing at LAMDA, is part of the Musical Theatre Department Singing Faculty at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and works with professional performers through her private studio, The Practice by Charlie-Jade. She previously held appointments at Mountview and Laine Theatre Arts, and is an external assessor for Arts Educational Schools. She adopts an evidence-based and person-centred approach to her teaching, encouraging actors, singers and actor-musicians to harness their unique sound whilst ensuring that no matter the genre, they are singing healthily and efficiently, combining emotional and musical instinct with a well-rounded technique. Her Doctoral Research in the field of performers’ health and performing arts medicine led to Charlie-Jade pursuing specialist training in vocal health. Alongside courses in Fundamental Anatomy, Endoscopic Interpretation, and MSc Performance Science research around the Psychology of Voice Disorders, Charlie-Jade regularly collaborates with specialist clinicians and observes in a leading NHS Voice Clinic. In addition to her PG Dip and MSc, she was awarded the title Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music (Singing Teaching), and is a member of the British Voice Association and Healthy Conservatoires Network.

Incredibly passionate about music and well-being, Charlie-Jade has facilitated sessions and performed for outreach projects with organisations such as Opera Holland Park, Age UK, Key Club at the Lyric Hammersmith and with the Wigmore Hall. She has sung and facilitated sessions working with adults on the autism spectrum, those living with dementia and their carers, primary school children and the elderly.
