What improvements will I see by taking singing lessons?

Under the guidance of a professional voice teacher, you can GREATLY improve your voice.

An experienced voice teacher will identify the areas of your voice that need improvement and will work out a customized exercise plan, with the right exercises and techniques specifically tailored to YOUR voice.

As each voice is different, exercises may not work the same for everyone. Without proper supervision, exercises could be done incorrectly and this may lead to vocal strain, bad vocal habits and even vocal damage.

Significant breakthroughs can occur during vocal development, particularly if you're addressing vocal issues, but improvements usually happen in small, gradual steps over time.

Consistent (correct) practice leads to muscular development and coordination which can be felt. Singing will start "feeling" easier and that song you struggled to sing 3 months ago will now feel much easier to sing..

You might also notice that you're able to sing higher than before, without straining.

Consistent vocal development and training translates into tangible results. All those vocal scales DO pay off!

Your pitching will improve and you'll notice that your hearing and listening skills improve too. You'll become more "in tune" with your own voice and start hearing yourself as you REALLY sound.

As we become more adept at using our resonance chambers and breathing more efficiently for singing, our tone improves, resulting in a voice that sounds fuller, rounder, brighter, richer, more expressive, with greater depth and enhanced clarity in articulation.

You'll notice that you can sustain notes for longer, your singing becomes more "melodious," balanced, connected, and fluid. You begin to sing with greater control, intent, precision, and emotion.

As you master "blending registers" your voice becomes smooth and the breaks begin to disappear. Your voice becomes "one" voice and the tonal qualities even out.

As your vocal mechanism starts working in harmony, you may notice a natural vibrato has developed, where one didn't exist previously. Everyone has a vibrato!

As you master placement and breathing techniques and strengthen your voice, you'll notice your voice becomes "louder" and you're able to sing with greater volume, without strain.

You'll start learning what volume ACTUALLY is and how to access and control it. This is a HUGE breakthrough for most singers.

Just like learning to play any instrument really well, you can fine tune and hone your vocal skills to become an incredibly skilled instrument with continued, consistent, correct technique and practice.
