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.

Most often, a voice coach produces and writes the lyrics for the vocal arrangements of both the backup and secondary singers. Others became advisers to singers and bands for the production of music such as writing the lyrics. Critics to this are rising. There are issues about the popular recordings which are credited to the singer instead of voice coach Los Angeles resulting to not acknowledging the coaches for the lyric writing.

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.

The education and training of most voice coaches in Los Angeles, CA may vary widely. Most of them are professional singers formerly and may be current singers. Some may also have undergone formal trainings like Masters of Music, Bachelors of Music, have Conservatory Diplomas, or may have degrees that are related to foreign languages, to posture techniques, to human kinetics, or to breathing methods.

Others may just have little experience in formal trainings and that is why they prefer on enhancing their skills through their experiences as a performer. While those that do not have trainings are often found in music styles and also in classical milieu. An example for this is when a language speaker moves to another country to be a diction coach to some vocal students, and may have developed in the styles of singing.

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 kind of field is very competitive most especially in higher or professional levels. The salary may vary on work conditions. Though there are some who have the freedom to command their own rates.

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.

Conditions for work may vary. It varies on type of work in most recording or opera companies either you are a freelancer or part timer. In most universities and in most musical theaters, full time workers are given contracts.
