What improvements will I see by taking singing lessons?

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

Your teacher is likely to notice your vocal improvements before you do, as they hear you once a week, while you hear your voice constantly and you might not immediately recognize the subtle progress.

Yes, significant breakthroughs can occur during the process of vocal development, particularly if you're addressing vocal issues. However, improvements typically occur in small, gradual steps over time.

Unfortunately, this is also why some people quit before reaching their goals; they expect quick results, and when that doesn't occur, they feel disappointed and believe it will never happen.

However, that's not true! If you keep practicing you WILL improve, without a doubt. Many people became great singers through persistence, not because they were naturally talented or born great singers. They BECOME talented and exceptional through consistent effort.

Consistent practice leads to muscular development which can be felt. Singing will start "feeling" easier, although you won't know why that song you struggled to sing 3 months ago is now so much easier, it just is.

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

That's the power of consistent vocal development and training. It translates into tangible results. All those vocal scales DO pay off!

Your pitching starts improving and you notice that actually it wasn't that great before you started taking lessons!

Another advantage of regularly training your ears to listen to your voice from an "external" perspective is that you become more attuned to your instrument and begin to hear frequencies and harmonics you previously didn't hear in your own voice.

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

As we master the art of blending registers, our voice becomes smooth and the breaks begin to vanish.

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!

Continued practice and strengthening affords more dynamics, so you're able to project your voice further and sing with greater volume, without strain.

You'll start realising what volume ACTUALLY is and how to control it, as you find the nuances of how the voice works, as a whole. 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.
