What Brian does

Be The Voice Academy (operating under the company name "Brian") is a Singapore-based voice coaching and presentation skills training service founded by Brian Lee, who serves as Principal Trainer and is the company's central delivery asset. The firm offers three core service lines: corporate training programs tailored to enterprise clients (e.g., Speak with Confidence, Selling With Your Voice, Influencing with Your Voice, The Quick Fix, Your Voice – A Manager's Tool), one-on-one individual coaching with Brian Lee, and student programs covering PSLE oral exams, O-Level English oral examinations, and Direct School Admission (DSA) interview preparation. Its methodology is non-technology-based, centered on personalized in-person coaching, a free initial voice assessment, and a recording-and-review feedback loop rather than a software platform.

The business operates from a single Singapore headquarters at International Plaza (10 Anson Road, Level 5, Suite 5095, within a JustCo co-working space) and serves clients exclusively in Singapore, with no documented international expansion. Revenue is generated through professional services engagements — corporate programs (described as multi-year contracts at quote-based pricing), individual coaching sessions (also quote-based post-assessment), and discrete student workshop fees. Go-to-market combines direct website and WhatsApp/phone inquiries, content marketing via a 120+ article blog and social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn), and earned media in outlets including The Business Times, Wall Street Journal, Asian Entrepreneur, and SME Magazine.

The customer base spans large Singapore enterprises across financial services, technology, healthcare, government, and education — including DBS Bank, Standard Chartered, BNP Paribas, BNY Mellon, Salesforce, Shell, FedEx, Johnson & Johnson, Singapore Police Force, and Singapore Management University — alongside individual professionals and K-12 students. The company is privately held with no disclosed venture capital or private equity funding, and operations are tightly tied to the founder's personal brand and delivery capacity.

Direct peers

• The Humphrey Group: Executive communication and presentation training firm focused on C-suite and senior leaders — directly comparable to Be The Voice's enterprise executive-coaching use cases (e.g., 'Your Voice – A Manager's Tool', HEC Paris executive training).
• Exec|Comm: US-headquartered corporate communication and presentation skills firm serving Fortune 500 clients with customized workshops and coaching — directly comparable service offering, buyer (corporate L&D), and methodology to Be The Voice's corporate programs.
• Dale Carnegie Training: Global corporate training firm specializing in public speaking, presentation skills, leadership, and communication — historically the most recognized direct competitor in the same category Be The Voice serves, with multi-country delivery infrastructure Be The Voice lacks.
• Big Fish Presentations: Presentation skills training and coaching firm for corporate audiences — directly comparable workshop-based delivery model and enterprise target customer to Be The Voice's Speak with Confidence and Influencing with Your Voice programs.
• Toastmasters International: Global non-profit community organization for public speaking and leadership practice. While not-for-profit, it competes for the same individual professional and student segments Be The Voice targets (fear of public speaking, oral exam prep, presentation confidence).

Emerging players

• Speexx: AI-augmented digital language and business communication training platform for enterprises — represents the technology-enabled substitute for in-person voice coaching that Be The Voice currently has no offering against.
• Yoodli: AI-powered public speaking coach offering on-demand, judgment-free practice and feedback — direct technology substitute targeting the same individual professional and corporate presentation-skills use cases Be The Voice serves in-person.

Broad incumbents

• BTS: Global business transformation and leadership development consultancy with executive education and communication programs — competes for the same enterprise L&D and executive coaching budgets as Be The Voice but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Mind Gym: LSE-listed corporate performance and behavior-change training provider with a broader portfolio spanning resilience, leadership, and communication — overlaps with Be The Voice at the enterprise L&D buyer level but is a much larger, diversified incumbent.

Regional players

• Speech-Knowledge Coaching (Singapore): Singapore-based regional competitor offering corporate and individual presentation/voice coaching with similar in-person delivery model — competes directly for the same Singapore enterprise and individual clients as Be The Voice.
