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.

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.

There are some who may have little experiences only of formal trainings which is the reason why they enhance their skills through performing experiences. Others are not under any trainings and they are usually in the music styles and in the classical milieu. Examples of it are language speakers moving into different countries to teach diction to vocal students, thus, they may develop their singing styles.

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 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 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.

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.
