How To Choose A Vocal Coach

This post will help you to find the best vocal coach for your money by asking 5 simple questions. These questions are used to assess the vocal coach’s experience. For price related quesions refer to this article: price of singing lessons. Bear in mind that the best vocal coaches are probably busy and booked with students so they may not have time to answer all your questions. If the vocal coach doesn’t have time, you could just try a few lessons and find out the answers then. It’s best to treat these as suggestions so don’t worry if you don’t get answers to all the questions below.

Essential questions to help find the best vocal coach:

  • How many years have you been teaching? Obviously teachers with more experience will tend to charge more for lessons. Also if the voice coach has been teaching for a while you might try and ask former students about their experiences.
  • Where did you get your singing education? Preferably you want a vocal coach who has had years of performance experience or years of lessons or training in a degree program that focuses on the voice. The singing teacher does not need a degree from an expensive music school to be a great vocal coach so you’ll have to use your own judgement here. More important than a fancy degree is that he or she knows how to pass on her knowledge to her students.
  • Do you perform live? If yes, where? Should you have the possibility to listen to the voice coach sing, then do yourself a favor and go. You may discover a lot about his personality that you might not get to see during your singing lessons.
  • Do you work with different voice types and teach different music styles? If you are looking for help with a specific voice type, or specific singing styles, you need to make sure that your prospective vocal coach can work with your voice type or the style of singing you’re interested in.
  • Where are your lessons conducted? Lessons might be held in a studio, a school, at the voice teacher’s home or perhaps even at your home (for which you should expect to pay more). The location should be convenient for you to get to.
  • What kind of music do your students sing? You want to find out if the vocal coach is interested in the same kind of music that you enjoy. If she doesn’t let you choose your own songs, you at least to feel that you’ll enjoy singing the kind of songs that she chooses.

Be wary of singing teachers who offer “a life altering method for singing “. Teaching people how to sing is by no means a new profession so it’s much better to go with a tried and tested singing method than to waste your money on experiments. The only exception to this rule that I can think of is the Per Bristow’s Bristow Voice Method (Bristow Voice Method review) Good luck with your singing and have fun!
