Sing Better With Vocal Lessons

By Donald Meyer


In Los Angeles, CA there are many individuals who want to make it in the music industry as a performer. However, part of the secret is to have longevity and take care of the gift. Whether a person sings, raps, or is more of a hard rocking screamer, vocal lessons not only help with range but how to maintain the same tone through the duration of a career.

Many feel that because they are just beginning, or are young, that this is not necessary. Starting early is one of the best ways to preserve the voice. Some popular musicians will not see a coach until after a few years of performing. While this may seem to be the practical way to do things, often it is not.

Like anything else, when actual damage is done to something, it takes more time and money to repair it. So if a person is making a modest living with music, they may not have the funds for extensive treatment. They may also not be in a position to reschedule performances or take time off to heal properly. Learning breathing exercises early can help an artist preserve their gift.

This is like investing early on because a good, strong voice can lead to other opportunities. Even if a singer does not start in the front and center, they can make a nice living singing background for more known artists. In the meantime, they can use vocal training for basic exercises that will help with breathing and stamina.

This process is similar to getting in good physical shape. Many people are born with good metabolism so they rarely gain weight but may work out because it makes them feel good. This habit helps them stay in shape as they get older and metabolism slows down. They are usually better off than people who never work out and need to in order to get into better physical shape.

Performers that have breathing problems or are regular smokers should seriously consider using a coach. Special breathing exercises can prevent the voice from going hoarse or losing it momentarily. These techniques can also help those who do a lot of screaming during performances.

A recording artist that is versatile is one who is more likely to be in demand. They can sing small parts, or hooks, on hit songs. Those with a particularly melodic voice may also find work in singing commercial jingles. These options can be just as lucrative and have less pressure than being a big name performer.

Keeping the voice in optimum shape and a good work ethic can lead to many opportunities in the business. Getting vocal therapy from a professional is more effective than most homemade remedies when it comes to making the most of recording sessions or live performances. Hiring someone who can bring results is one of the best investments a performer can make in their career and will ensure longevity.
