Blake is also a skilled voice, acting and singing coach and specialises in working with people from ALL backgrounds who want to improve their speaking voice, learn to sing - either professionally or for just the sheer joy of it!
His approach is that all voices are unique and no one methodology is prescriptive although a classical approach is preferred to protect the instrument. Various students come with different needs and lessons are tailor made to suit the client. Beginners especially welcome.
The aim of each lesson is to expand the voice and develop technique, which is the most reliable building block of any voice, strengthening the voice while keeping the qualities of the sound unique so the voice doesn't develop a generic sound but is responsive to emotions and thought.
A typical lesson may involve work on the body and breathing to begin with, followed by scales and work on problem areas that come up. Repertoire and placing the voice, body and breath into songs or speeches will depend on the student and what their needs are.
Provided the student works and takes on board all coaching, results should be seen almost immediately.
