3 Thing to Consider when Choosing a Vocal Coach.

There are hundreds of teachers out there who can help you with your vocal lessons. However, how do you find the right person for you? How can you find someone who can get the best out of you and push you to get better every day? You don’t want to regret the effort, money and time you will be spending on your lessons and leave with a bad taste if you don’t get anything out of it. So, here are some considerations you should make before you choose your vocal mentor.

1. Qualified Personnel

Experience always helps as it gives them the vision of what it takes to get you to the level you aspire to be. The proof of the teacher’s qualification is an assurance to you that you can trust the lessons your mentor will be teaching. If a teacher knows a chord instrument, it is an added advantage as then can accompany your singing and give you a better understanding of what it is like to sing with music. They should be able to detect the smallest of change in your voice and always ready with advice which will help you get better at the technique. Explore their work and if you get a chance, attend their shows and you will have a fair idea of what to expect from your time with her/him.

2. Style of Music

Different styles require concentration in different techniques. First, understand the style of music you want to play or sing. Who do you look up to or aspire to be? This will give you a better outlook of what you want to achieve. Once you know your style, choose your mentor accordingly. Not all mentor can develop you in the style you want to grow in. Listen to them sing and decide if they can really bring the style you are looking for. A classical vocalist can find certain aspects of contemporary music difficult and vice versa. Different genre requires different understanding of your voice and it is only sensible to get right into the techniques that will develop you in your style. However, even though you want to get better at only one style, make sure your mentor knows how to challenge you through songs from different genres and yet find a way to elevate your skills.

3. Compatibility

Compatibility matters. You should feel comfortable in your instructor’s presence. If you feel awkward you won’t give your best when singing and that will hinder any progress in your skill. So, make sure you are comfortable with the way your mentor teaches the necessary material. Also, you should appreciate your mentor’s voice because you will be hearing it a lot. If you don’t like what you hear, you will most likely not listen to them seriously. If you really like the techniques and range your mentor has got, you will be ready to commit to their lessons as you know you would like to have the skills that he/she possesses. Other than that, see if your mentor understands what you want to achieve through their lessons and be honest about your expectations which will help the teacher to evaluate and plan your lessons better.
