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.

Mostly, the voice coach is both the writer and the producer of arrangements for harmony of the backup vocalists and the developer for the melody of secondary vocalists. Some serve as advisers to bands and to singers for lyric writing of musical productions. There are critics concerning on the issues of popular recordings in which it credits the singer for the work done by the voice coach Los Angeles and not acknowledging coaches who did the lyric writing for singers.

Starting from the year 2000, there is already an increased number of recording soft wares containing different algorithms for vocal processing and digital correction devices for pitch. These soft wares have reduced the roles of the vocal coaches. Before, if a producer wants to have a recording with a person who does not have that much vocal skills, that person must be under a vocal coaching for a few weeks to learn the song and to improve the diction and tone as well.

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 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 have professions with relation to music like the pianists in rehearsals accompanying musical theater singers. Other professions are not in relation to musical aspects. These professions include yoga experts and other aspects involving the use of vocal cords and throat.

This field or profession is now becoming competitive especially for professional or higher levels. Their salaries vary upon the work conditions. But there are times when they can command own prices.

Most of them, such as the music and art professionals may have salaries lower than the average salary of other professions. This may possibly happen even if they both require the same amount of experience and education. Other professions may include bank managers and economists.

Work conditions may vary widely. It will depend whether you are doing part time or freelance work in opera companies or in recording companies. There may also have full time contracts when you work in universities or in musical theater companies.
