ABOUT ME
My name is Karen Williams. I have been singing since my early school years and have a rich musical background. I was a past member of the Nottingham Operatic Society, which provided me with valuable experience.
Since 2019, I have been actively performing in various venues, including pubs, festivals, and private events as part of a duo. Additionally, I have had the privilege of hosting open mic nights to support emerging talent.
For the past two years, I have also been working as a vocal coach, helping my clients hone their singing abilities.

Why choose Nightingale Vocal Coaching?
I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Nightingale Vocal Coaching to others.
Karen TI learned how to warm up, breathe properly and in the right places, phrasing, pausing for effect, perfect pitch, intonation, song selection to best suit my voice, how to deliver a song for maximum impact. My vocal range has also increased and I can now hit notes I couldn't reach before.
