Trainings And Experiences Of A 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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.
