mellisa blayne

musician, songwriter and coach

  • “Mellisa creates a compelling, fun, super safe space to be your authentic self and grow musically / vocally.”

    Alyson Charles Storey, Author of ANIMAL POWER Book & Deck

  • "Mellisa will pull a voice out of you you didn’t know you had. She’s a phenomenal teacher in her willingness to use all modalities to help you find your true sound. I left her workshop feeling empowered, inspired, and singing more confidently in my own signature style."

    Dana Shultz

  • "I left Mellisa’s voice workshop feeling energized, inspired, and wanting to sing more! It was a good mix of women from professional singers to those who just wanted to explore with their voice. Mellisa was a wonderful facilitator and made everyone feel comfortable. I really learned a lot and enjoyed the vocal exercises we did as a group."

    Rachel Welsh

  • "Mellisa met me exactly where I was in my music education (or lack thereof!) and helped me take significant steps forward. Thanks to her guidance, I now have the tools to project and showcase my voice in ways I never thought possible. After just one session, I walked out feeling more confident in my tone and range, and I’ve even started singing in front of people!"

    Courtney Sprawls

  • "Mellisa is so gifted. Such a gentle, patient, playful and loving soul with a beautiful gift for music. We did really cool activities, sang a lot and the communion with the other folks was just perfect. My 11 yr old daughter had a blast! Very cool experience that I would definitely recommend to anyone exploring their voice and musical prowess. I would do it again and again!"

    Niki Duncan

  • "Doing voice work with Mellisa was incredible. She expertly wove together practical group exercises with theory elements that helped to increase my confidence to use my voice. I found my voice became much stronger and more resonant."

    Laurie Neale

  • "Mellisa took time to help me discover my vocal range and specifically which keys felt most comfortable for me. As simple as this sounds, it was very empowering. Previously, I would have felt too shy to sing/make noises out loud in front of another person without music, but Mellisa always creates such a safe container where I feel free to just be."
