How To Know If You Need Voice Lessons

“The unskilled performer invariably increases tension and effort when learning to sing. If the musculature of the larynx has been developed properly through training, this is not necessary.”

- Ingo Titze: Voice Research and Technology

Do I need Voice Training?

A: Consider this: Your vocal folds which produce your unique tone are but a fascinatingly tiny network of muscles, tissue and mucousal layers, ranging between only 1/2 to 1 inch long – roughly the length of your fingernail! With such an exquisitely small and fragile instrument, wouldn’t you like to be sure it is functioning efficiently?

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms while singing, consider booking a lesson here at the studio, so that I can advise and aid you in corrective adjustments ASAP:

• Vocal fatigue
• Vocal strain
• Hoarseness
• Breathiness
• Shortness of breath
• Unsatisfactory Tonal Quality
• Weak, or undeveloped chest, mix, or head voice
• A “flip”, disconnection, or any unexpected break in the voice
• Inability to reach high notes consistently and easily
• Lack of, or difficulty in producing a relaxed vibrato
• Lack of an emotional presence in your voice
• Any inability to express yourself with your voice as you require

Q: Will voice lessons or technique interfere with my unique style?
