Frequently asked questions
What does a vocal coach do?
A vocal coach trains singers to improve their overall ability and performance - from vocal technique to song delivery to on-stage presence. A vocal coach will give their students personalized exercises, help them develop a practice routine, and give support in forming healthy mindsets toward singing.
What’s the difference between a vocal coach and a singing teacher?
A singing teacher mainly works on voice technique - breathing, posture, increasing range, strengthening tone etc. A vocal coach also works on song interpretation, repertoire, and all aspects of performance.
Can a vocal coach help you sing better?
Absolutely, it’s their job to help you sing better. Anybody that has a voice can improve it with the right guidance and training. What matters is to enjoy singing and choose the right, qualified teacher. With a little practice and an open mind, you will get better in no time.
What do singers drink before they sing?
It’s important to stay sufficiently hydrated, but not necessary to obsess about it. Also, everyone is different. Generally, water at room temperature or warm (not hot) teas are best. Avoid drinking too much coffee, and pay attention to your reaction to dairy. Some people feel that it creates a lot of mucus, which can be irritating while singing.
