Contrary to common belief, singers understand that vocal perfect can absolutely be learned. A very small amount of your vocal sound stems from natural talent. Instead, most comes from mastering pitch, increasing your range, using correct air flow, and perfecting your projection. All of these qualities are learned or can be improved with practice and instruction.
There is no substitute for taking singing lessons with a vocal coach to improve your singing voice, but voice lessons are expensive and take up a large amount of time. Finances and time are two large reasons why people are discouraged from taking lessons from an instructor.
Another reason why some singers become disappointed with singing lessons is due to the great degree of difference among vocal coaches. Unless you have an established personal relationship with a coach, it is difficult to assess the quality of one’s coaching unless he or she is endorsed by established singers.
However, because of the magic of the internet, there are voice lessons online that you can use to develop a larger range so that you can sing higher (and lower) notes, increase projection, develop vibrato, and develop a better overall tone to your voice. While you can’t train a DVD to learn your pitch and give you tips based on your struggle points, voice lessons online can be done in the comfort of your own home without the fear of singing in front of a stranger and without paying hourly fees to be critiqued.
Furthermore, having an experienced, quality vocal coach on DVD can be reproduced – instead of settling for an in-person lesson with a below average coach, you can meet with a top-notch coach through his or her online class or DVD instruction.
Voice lessons online may be a viable alternative for people who can’t afford to pay $25 – $100 an hour for a good singing coach, or for people who don’t have the time to meet with someone face-to-face after work or in between classes.
Even famous singing sensations have begun to consider alternative ways of fine-tuning their voices without having to bring their vocal coach along on tour. Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Paramore, and Miley Cyrus (as well as many other celebrities) credit Brett Manning from Singing Success with much of their vocal ability, and his DVD course is one that can be taken on tour or watched in the living room after work.
Most vocal techniques absolutely can be improved, and only a very small part of your singing voice can be improved upon with practice. Even if you don’t have a so-called “pretty singing voice,” you can develop one. The most important step of the process is working with a very good singing instructor. The best way to save money and time while still getting quality instructor from a proven coach is to join an online voice lesson with a proven, reliable coach.
