Brandon was able to pinpoint my vocal issues in our first lesson. After the second lesson, I spent hours at home singing songs that previously were beyond my abilities!! I had always believed it would take months of vocal instruction before I noticed any improvement. In just three lessons, my range has exponentially increased. Now I’m looking forward to all the years of pleasure I will get from my voice!!

I love singing!! Thanks to Brandon at 3rd Voice, my abilities no longer feel ‘random’. Previously I would ‘choke’ at times and not be able to get the sound I wanted out, especially in front of people. By using the techniques from my lessons, I can confidently sing with power and range I did not believe I had!

After trying many different styles and techniques I can finally say I found the way to good vocal technique. Brandon’s positive attitude and charisma, his in-depth know-how and energy are exactly what I was looking for. The studio is so cozy and the way the light comes through the window is so inspiring, the whole ambiance, amazing. I came to the right environment and the right person which will help me gain that elusive confidence in my voice. If I lived in Toronto I would be there every other day!

For two and a half months before rehearsals started, I took lessons with Brandon and i can’t tell you what a drastic difference it made in my voice. I had issues with disconnectedness and tonal differences between head and chest and not knowing how to blend them…

I came away from that short period of time of working with Brandon, with so much more knowledge, how to practice, so much more consistency and way more confidence. I’m so happy with myself and my employers are really happier with me. Thank you Brandon SO much. Can’t wait to see you next summer.

You immediately struck me as a teacher who really has a deeper understanding of the process…

I am so impressed with the results you’ve had in such a short time I’ve begun giving out your number to some of my clients.

I came thinking that i knew the limits of my voice, and when I had left, you had showed me that i really haven’t even touched my limits. It was like a painter who has only known red and blue being shown a rainbow!

I just wanna say Thank-You so much for being my voice teacher over the last year. It really has been the starting of a journey for me and I can only put that down to your teaching methods […] Technically and just as a singer I really feel you’ve helped me to take massive strides […] All the progressions kept me working hard and discovering new things.

It is obvious how much you want your students to prosper and how much thought and care you put into as their music teacher. I really can’t thank you enough.

Brandon made me aware of what I had been missing: I was not enjoying singing – I got that back! I had no confidence in my ability – got that back! I didn’t know when I wasn’t using my voice correctly – I do now!

Brandon showed me, by using vocal exercises in Speech Level Singing, that you can accomplish alot. I must say, it has been a joy and a privilege to work with him, and I hope we get the opportunity to work together again soon.

Even though I have been singing for years and am rooted in bad habits, after working with Brandon for a year, everyone says my singing has improved noticeably. He gives me really helpful exercises and has extended my range enormously. For the first time in my life, I can now sing ‘vibrato’ which has obviously changed everything.

When I have a problem singing a line and ask him for help, he always suggests a new way of approaching it and invariably sorts me out. I am learning to incorporate this stuff into my performances and imagine what he would suggest before I sing a difficult line.

He records the lessons and burns them onto cd for me so I have something to practice with each week. That has been really helpful and now, I can see the work has really paid off. THANKS BRANDON!

You’re a very skilled voice teacher and you’ve helped me to expand my singing knowledge the way I had hoped. I look forward to using every lesson while on the road; you’ve helped me so much! See you next year!

I came to Speech Level Singing (SLS) a bit of a virgin, a bath-tub singer, if you like. So Brandon, with his informal teaching style, was perfect for me… Brandon makes SLS appear quite simple when it’s clearly a dependable and thoroughly thought out system. He tailors the method very carefully to my individual body’s particular needs, getting me to feel the experience of the different ways my body can produce sounds. The endless array of games and tricks up his sleeve makes our lessons end up like Dr Seuss’s “Fox In Sox”.

Brandon’s got a light touch but also an insistent focus. He gives me a fun way to make solid progress in singing and all along – without any special effort and without even noticing it – I’ve made massive strides, particularly in gaining confidence.

Brandon’s lessons have been invaluable in developing my singing skills. His personable and friendly approach enabled me to feel in a safe environment to let go and take risks with my singing. The exercises he taught me made my vocal development consistent and strong and within a few weeks I felt ready to perform.

I use the CDs that he makes of each class as a record of my progress and any problems that may have come up in a class, I will listen to them for reference and practice. Brandon’s keen interest in music and song make his lessons inspiring and fun.

Brandon’s positive affirming spirit and brilliant understanding of music and the voice has helped me conquer all the obstacles in singing that I’ve battled for years. I have been singing principals in west end shows as well, something that has been a lifelong dream of mine.

In just under 2 years studying with Brandon, I’ve made phenomenal progress, expanding my range to 4 octaves, building strength in my voice, and giving me the ability and confidence to sing any song from opera to R&B. Brandon’s lively and friendly persona makes my every lesson a real joy to go to every week. Every lesson is fun and relaxing as well as enriching and inspiring.

When I first started having lessons I was feeling low. Brandon first made me feel very comfortable which helped gain my confidence. I feel I have improved and learnt so much in such a short time that I look forward to every lesson. Each is full of variety and I always feel I am progressing towards my goals.

As a software developer, I’ve had extremely limited musical training. Though engineering was my background, singing was my passion. Singing through my breaks was something that I could only dream of before coming to Brandon. Not only did he assist me in developing proper co-ordination for singing through my bridges, but he was also very sincere and complete in responding to all of my questions regarding SLS and how the voice works. In just three lessons with him, I was able to sing into my mix.

Seeking Brandon for help was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He provides a very casual and welcoming learning environment, but more importantly, he delivers promising results in short time. I strongly recommend Brandon to all because he has worked miracles on me, and I have confidence that he will too for many others.

I can’t thank you enough Brandon.
