Where Performers Are Made.
Voice & Musical Theatre Training in Knoxville, TN and online.
Our Approach
At Ziegenfuss Voice Studio, we help singers build healthy, confident, and versatile voices for the stage and beyond. Our personalized voice training empowers performers to develop their unique artistry, refine their technique, and pursue their goals with clarity and confidence.
We specialize in working with students ages 10–18, offering private voice lessons and pre-professional training for musical theatre, classical, and contemporary singers. For younger singers under age 10, we offer engaging group classes that introduce foundational skills through creative play, movement, and music-making.
Whether you're preparing for auditions, strengthening your technique, or just discovering your voice, we’re here to help you grow as an artist.

“Blayne is a wonderfully skilled, intuitive, and gifted pedagogue. He combines a sound understanding of vocal anatomy and physiology with a flexible and encouraging teaching style. My time studying under him was (and continues to be) a period of tremendous vocal growth, freedom, and joy. He is a musician and teacher of the highest caliber and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
