Introduction

Hello! My name is Samantha Blake and I am a voice teacher and professional singer here in Los Angeles, CA. I received my degree from Belmont University’s School of Music in Musical Theatre and Classical voice, and I performed in regional Broadway shows around the country for 6 years. All my students will have a classical base, site reading 101, and I specialize in helping my ladies unleash their powerful ‘belt’, healthily. I build my students’ repertoire books for auditions to meet the current criteria required from collegiate audition tours, LA theatre, and Broadway. I currently work for the Walt Disney Company and I am dedicated to staying plugged into the industry in order to help connect my students and help them reach their goals. My active participation in the industry ensures I am always up to date with need to know repertoire and styles so that my students are prepared for the real world. My lessons are conducted over Zoom to accommodate the ever changing industry schedules and to enable me to reach students no matter where they are located! I look forward to meeting you and to helping your voice shine!

I really enjoyed my initial consultation with Sammy. She was very friendly and easy going. She didn't judge me for making mistakes and she waited for me to be ready. I usually feel like I'm being judged and disliked by people, but she was super chill from the get go. I felt safe in just a couple minutes of chatting. She's confident without being arrogant and it's very reassuring.

Sami is the only teacher I've had that focused on the smallest details in my voice/singing. She had confidence in me, and I was able to grow from that. I've only taken a few classes, but I was able to find my voice and range that I was too shy to try out before.

Sami is amazing and so supportive! I’ve gained more awareness about my voice through the exercises both in and out of class. The song choices are always tailored to both preferences and ability. It’s a pleasure working with her :)

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start everyone off with a classical base. I believe classical training not only creates the strongest singers, but also the healthiest. I build each students’ repertoire book based on their individual type, range, and goals. I also coach each song for both performance and audition cuts so that the student is versatile and prepared for the industry’s requirements.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in Musical Theatre and Classical Voice. 6 years of professional singing experience. 3 years of voice coaching experience.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began as a professional ballerina at the Atlanta Ballet and then decided to pursue theatre, so I went to Belmont University School of Music! I got my BFA in Musical Theatre and Classical Voice and I have been singing and dancing around the country ever since!
