1. Who needs a vocal coach?
Everyone can benefit from a vocal coach. In fact, people from all walks of life can be taught by a vocal coach how to improve and feel more comfortable with their everyday speaking sound, as well as developing and nurturing a singing voice.
2. What is the difference between vocal coaching and voice teaching?
A singing teacher can teach people how to sing along to a song and sing in tune. A vocal coach can train individuals to sing and in addition, will teach advanced technique, bespoke vocal performance and promote healthy vocal practices.
3. Why would someone who is not a singer benefit from a vocal coach?
Our voice is not just about entertainment. It is about communication and it can be powerful. Whether you are a politician, a lawyer or a businessperson who needs to present, you need to maximise your ability to convey messages, persuade and impress. Our voice is key to these skills and if you learn to control it, you can unlock the opportunities.
4. Do all singers have a vocal coach?
Not all singers have a vocal coach, particularly not nowadays when there are increasingly sophisticated ways of filtering sound through the use of technology. However, lack of practice, knowledge and vocal control will result in a generation of artists with less understanding and performance charisma and more liability to hurt their voices.
5. What to expect from a vocal coach?
- Someone who specialises in one technique or multiple techniques
- The ability to use their own voice as an example as well as using words and images
- Working towards targets and delivering on time
