FAQ for Singers on Vocal Instruction:

What Are Some Signs I Might Need A Vocal Coach?

*Your voice is tired or hurts after singing or speaking for a period of time.

*You are losing your voice after performances or speaking engagements.

*You can't hit the high notes or have to strain.

*You sing flat especially when you're tired, and have trouble hearing the note.

*Your voice cracks at certain points in your range.

*You lose tone the more you speak or can't project across a room without straining.

 
Why Do I Need A Technique?

The larynx is a muscle. If you're a singer, your body is your instrument. Having a technique protects you when you're ill, tired, not at your best. It also allows you to build your voice and expand it into the best sounding "instrument" possible.

Vocal Coaching like any coaching gives you a foundation and starts where you are.

*It improves and builds breath control

*grounds you in your body

*increases and improves stamina

Who Works With A Coach?

Singers, speakers, professionals, or anyone who wants to sound better and be more confident.

Anyone whose livelihood depends on their voice, or would be enhanced by singing/speaking technique.

Closet singers who love to sing with the radio and would love to sing on pitch in choirs, at Karioke Bars, for Christmas Caroling…

and of course . . .    rock stars, pop stars, actors, broadcast professionals…
(Michael Jackson, Madonna, to name a few)
