The Trainings And The Experiences Of Voice Coach

By Sandra Martin


Another common term for voice coach is vocal coach. These coaches are teachers that teach and instruct a singer to improve his or her techniques and as well as to take care and develop the voice. Some of the coaches privately teach master classes, lessons, and work shops. They serve as guides for the singers doing a practice or doing a song recording. Usually, coaches focus more on music that are either classical or popular. But some may focus only on the techniques for singing like breathing and word diction and pronunciation.

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.

Starting from the year 2000, there is already an increased number of recording soft wares containing different algorithms for vocal processing and digital correction devices for pitch. These soft wares have reduced the roles of the vocal coaches. Before, if a producer wants to have a recording with a person who does not have that much vocal skills, that person must be under a vocal coaching for a few weeks to learn the song and to improve the diction and tone as well.

Voice coaches in the city of Los Angeles, CA vary on their trainings and their education. Mostly are former professional singers and some are currently professional singers. Some are under a formal training before such as having degrees with relation to human kinetics, breathing methods, foreign languages, and posture techniques. Other trainings include getting Conservatory Diplomas, Masters of Music, and Bachelors of Music.

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.

Others are having a profession which is musically related such as the rehearsal pianists found in the musical theaters. While some professions do not have any relations to music. Examples are yoga techniques and some other aspects that involve medically the throat and vocal cords.

This profession became very competitive nowadays especially for those in higher professional levels. Their salary is highly dependent on the conditions of work. At times, they can demand their 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 may vary widely. It will depend whether you are doing part time or freelance work in opera companies or in recording companies. There may also have full time contracts when you work in universities or in musical theater companies.
