David Greer Voice…
My Professional Training Bio …
“We arrive in this world singing and we leave with a very different song, a very sad song, but the journey through life can have a wonderful voice."
Quote from the late great London singing coach Mr lan Adam....guess this pretty much summed up lan.
Among the clients beating a path to his studio just off the Brompton Road, in South Kensington, London, were Jeremy Irons, Michael Ball, Sian Phillips, Elaine Paige, Michael Crawford, Lorna Dallas, Tom Conti, Boy George, Marc Almond, Lulu, Sylvie Guilleme, the Duchess of York and Clive James.
When he told the Australian singer Rhonda Bruce (originally a mezzo) that the top of her voice was underused, she told him to get lost.
But when Richard Bonynge, Joan Sutherland's husband, told her the same thing, she came charging back to Adam and re-trained. Within three months, she was a superb coloratura soprano. The rest they say is history... lan taught Michael Crawford how to vocally and mentally prepare for the gruelling eight shows a week for his role as the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera as well as Sarah Brightman for the role of Christine....
Always great fun lan always had his finger on the pulse and was with good friends of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sir Cameron Macintosh and Sir Trevor Nunn. infact it was widely believed you couldn't secure that said role unless you went through lan...
So I hope now you realise if and when we ever work together that your in good hands as we go on our little vocal journey to build your voice...
