Take these comments into consideration when deciding if the singing voice coach would be a suitable match for you.

• Ask for suggestions at the local music store. Perhaps you’ll get lucky and find they have a member of staff who is qualified to help you. If not, they will probably be able to recommend a couple of good singing teachers based in your area.

• Look for ads placed by voice teachers in the local newspaper. You never know, there might be a good voice teacher in your neighborhood offering affordable singing voice lessons.

• Get in touch with the music school at the nearest college. College graduates can make very good voice coaches. They’ve no doubt got plenty of great information to share that they’ve accumulated from their singing instructors. Also it’s likely that they are willing to help you improve your singing at an affordable rate.

• Look on the Internet. It’s likely that a local singing teacher will be advertising his or her services on the Internet.

What are your singing objectives?

Before getting in touch with a vocal coach, it’s a good idea to be clear about what you want to achieve with your singing lessons. Each singing coach will have their own strengths and shortcomings so by being clear about your objectives will help you identify the voice coach that’s right for you.

• What exactly do you want from your singing voice lessons? e.g. improve your singing technique, sing higher notes, hold out phrases longer, articulate better etc.

• Do you want to learn to sing as a professional or is singing more of a hobby and personal interest for you? Do you want a singing coach that will push you to your limits? How fast are you expecting to progress?

• How much time to you have to invest in your singing practice? If time is short then you may want to check if you could take lessons every other week so you have more time to practice between lessons.
