The Trainings And The Experiences Of Voice Coach

By Sandra Martin


A vocal coach or commonly known as a voice coach is known as a teacher that instructs and teaches singers for improving their singing techniques and also for developing and taking care of their voices. Some of the vocal coaches also teach in workshops, music lessons, and also master classes for individuals in private. They also serve as a guide to a singer who is practicing or is recording a song. Most of the coaches are focusing on classical or popular music while there are some who are focusing on singing techniques like the pronunciation and diction of words, and as well as breathing.

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.

In year 2000, there is already a number of soft wares used for recording that contain the different types of algorithms for the vocal processing and also pitch correction devices. The soft wares have made a reduction in works of vocal coaches. Producers before hires a person who would sing the song even without skills, and the producer would let him or her undergo vocal coaching for weeks for learning the song and improving tone and diction.

In Los Angeles, CA, training and education of the coaches varies widely. Most are former singers professionally and some also are singers currently. Some of them have formal trainings such as Bachelors of Music, Masters of Music, having Conservatory Diplomas, and having degrees related to posture techniques, foreign languages, breathing methods, and even human kinetics.

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 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 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.
