Trainings And Experiences Of A Voice Coach

By Sandra Martin


A voice coach or also called as a vocal coach is the one who teaches and instructs the singers on how they are going to improve some of their techniques in singing and also, on how to develop and take care of their voice. There are some coaches who may teach lessons, workshops, and master classes to individual singers privately. They can also guide a singer who is having a practice or may be having a recording. Most coaches focus on popular or classical music, while some provides singing techniques such as breathing, pronunciation, and diction.

A voice coach often is the one who writes and produces the arrangements of vocals for the harmony of backup singers and also in developing the melodies of the secondary singers. There are some who advises band and singer for writing the lyrics of a musical production. There are some criticisms on some issues about some famous recordings where in the singer is the one credited for the work of a voice coach Los Angeles, thus, not acknowledging the coach who writes the lyrics for the singer.

From year 2000, a lot of soft wares were developed that are now used in processing the vocals such as applying different algorithm types and devices which are used for correcting pitches. These soft wares are reducing the roles of most vocal coaches. The producers before will hire a not so good singer and will do vocal coaching to him or her for weeks. This is done for them to learn the new song and also to improve his or her diction and tone.

Voice coaches in the city of Los Angeles, CA vary on their trainings and their education. Mostly are former professional singers and some are currently professional singers. Some are under a formal training before such as having degrees with relation to human kinetics, breathing methods, foreign languages, and posture techniques. Other trainings include getting Conservatory Diplomas, Masters of Music, and Bachelors of Music.

Others do not have that much experience with a formal training and they are often seen doing performances and consider as their experiences. While those that do not have even one training are often seen in a music style or in a classical milieu. One example is a language speaker who teaches diction to students in many different countries. In this way, that speaker will more likely improve his or her singing style.

Other coaches may also have the profession related to music like rehearsal pianists that accompanies the singers in musical theaters. And some do not also have music related musical professions. Example for this is having yoga techniques or other aspects medically concerning on vocal cords and the throat.

This profession became very competitive nowadays especially for those in higher professional levels. Their salary is highly dependent on the conditions of work. At times, they can demand their own prices.

Most professionals for music and art have salaries which are lower than average salaries of the other professions. This can happen when they are required a similar amount for their education and their experience. Examples of higher paid professions are economists and also the bank managers.

Work conditions vary widely. It depends upon having a part time job or freelance job in the opera or recording companies. Contracts are given for full time workers in most universities and companies of musical theaters.
