Case Study: Dave Noble
Trustee, Writer, Speaker, Consultant & Mentor
Dave initially attended our three-hour Soho Farmhouse Group Workshop in the Oxfordshire countryside, bringing along one of his mentees. Impressed by the experience, Dave continued with VV LIVE in-person sessions at our London studio to gain more hands-on experience with the health and wellbeing aspects of the method. We were delighted that Dave chose to continue his development with us online as well.
Client Problem:
Improving Vocal Quality for Audio Recording
Despite Dave’s confidence, he wished to further improve his voice for the upcoming audio recording of his recently published book.
Our Analysis:
Dave needed to address the timbre, tone, and presentation of his voice to further engage the listener. We identified several key areas contributing to his challenges:
- Vocal Quality: Lack of dynamics – timbre, pitch, colour, and depth of voice.
- Flat Accent: Restricted tonal delivery due to a learnt pattern of accent.
- Mono-tonal Delivery: Speaking in one flat tone.
Our Solution:
We implemented personalised strategies and exercises for both voice and body, including:
- Physical Alignment: Continued physical alignment and breathing techniques to support the delivery of voice.
- Vocal Technique: Exercises in pitch, intonation, volume, tone, and vocal intensity to improve the tonal qualities of the voice.
- Changing Tonal Delivery: Techniques to combat restricted learnt patterns of accent.
- Use of Silence: Finding the impact of silence in delivery as well as sound.
- Body-Voice Alignment: Improved connection between body and voice delivery.
The Results:
Dave experienced significant improvements:
- Improved Body-Voice Connection: Enhanced engagement of body energy and vocal impact.
- Improved Vocal Technique: Greater rise and fall of pitch, tone, volume, and vocal intensity.
- Accent Pattern: Use of colour in the voice without losing his natural accent.
- Greater Use of Silence: A stronger and more impactful delivery.
In Conclusion:
Dave’s great individuality and uniqueness in both himself, his approach to life, and in helping others is a joy to behold! Over our years of working with him in various genres, we have been delighted and privileged to both impart our knowledge to him and be privy to his. We wish him every success with all his future ventures and look forward to our long and continued collaboration.
We are proud to have supported Dave in his journey and look forward to his continued success.
