Why do you need a voice coach?

So, why do you need a voice coach? It's the 21st century. We live in a world of instant digital connection and an AI industry that is growing at an astonishing rate. Surely, you can just download an app or sign up to a cheap How To Use Your Voice e-Learning course and you'll know everything you need to, right?

With all due respect, WRONG.

Learning how to use your voice effectively in performance is about so much more than being told how to do it. Mastering good vocal technique is an interactive process. A good coach will listen and observe how you are using your voice. They will understand where and how you can improve. And they will help you develop your vocal skill with a bespoke program of exercise that will work for you. An app or download cannot compete with that.

Working with a voice coach is an investment in your career. Our voice coach, Sam, has more than 20 years of professional training and experience. He will figure out what you need, and support you as you learn how to do it. Scroll on to learn more or click here to book your voice coaching session with Flying Pickle.



How does voice coaching for actors work?

Your first session with Flying Pickle Voice Coaching will be a friendly assessment of your voice. Sam isn't looking to judge how good or bad your voice is. He is simply going to listen to how you're using your voice and form some first impressions of how he can help. You might be introduced to some basic exercises including the Flying Pickle warm up. You will also have the chance to discuss your voice acting goals with Sam.

Next, Sam will design a program of work to help you to develop your voice. This program will be based around Sam's ideas about vocal SHAPE, PITCH, EFFORT, and INTENTION. But you will not be asked to adhere to a rigid structure of work. These are your voice sessions and at Flying Pickle we pride ourselves on voice coaching that evolves and develops to suit the individual needs of each student.
