Hi, I'm Jay Colwell.
My career in voice has shown me that free-flowing self-expression is key to vocal health and a profound form of healing and growth.
I've supported people from all walks of life looking to improve their voice. From award-winning opera singers, actors and actresses, speakers, executives, and more.
I work both virtually and out of my studio in Newport Beach, CA. I hope to help you discover your voice in all aspects of your life.
Here's what some of my clients have to say
Kimberly Williams-Paisley
"Jay has been an invaluable resource for me as I navigated vocal struggles of the last two years. He is kind, insightful, thoughtful, intuitive, extremely experienced, patient, trustworthy—in short, an angel. I'm so glad I found him."
Award-winning actress & NYT bestselling author
Isabel Leonard, mezzo-soprano
"Jay's work is such an integral part of my singing routine. His detailed, well-tailored and loving exercises are hugely valuable to any singer or voice professional wanting to fully connect to their entire instrument."
3x Grammy-winning Opera Singer
Farzan Karimi
"I first found Jay through referral as I was recovering from a vocal injury and procedure. Since our initial work he has not only helped me heal my voice, but also find its power in my public speaking and leadership."
Speaker & Sr. Director of Cybersecurity
Moderna, Former Google Leader
Deanna Breiwick, soprano
"Working with Jay is a transformative experience. He has a way of getting to the heart of concepts singers encounter in a way that brings both immediate and long-term results. I've been thrilled with the results of our work."
Award-winning international opera singer
Dr. Jocelyn Dueck
"I've spent my entire career coaching prosody and the expressive processes of linguistics. Jay's work explores these skills at their deepest level. Not to mention the profound impact he has had on my life over the last 8 years."
Head of Collaborative Arts, Carnegie Mellon University
