Why VoiceLessons.com vs other online options?

In theory, there are many internet-based applications available for conducting online voice lessons; Skype, Google Hangouts, Facetime, Zoom, etc. While these options are marginally effective, they were originally created for video conferencing, online meetings, and mobile collaboration, not for teaching and learning singing techniques. Because of this, there is a lag time that frustrates teachers and students alike.

Will the lessons expand my vocal range?

In order to enhance the fitness and ability of any aspect of our body, it is necessary to work out. The same is true for our vocal cords. Just as lifting weights will develop more powerful arms and legs, performing vocal exercises will allow you to create a stronger, more resilient, and more versatile voice. Your natural gifts can only be brought to their full potential through the consistent application of effective vocal training techniques. Keep in mind that the more work you put in between lessons the faster you will see and hear results. As your vocal fitness improves you should see your range expand upward and downward several notes.

Why take voice lessons if I am told I already can sing?

Natural talent is a very good place to begin, but natural talent can only take you so far. In order for natural talent to reach its fullest potential, it must be examined, its various parts isolated and developed. Then all of the parts must be brought into coordination in a way that maximizes the potential of your instrument. Throughout this process, it is also critical to identify bad habits that limit your ability and replace them with habits that serve to complement your natural gifts.

I am afraid of singing in front of people, how can I get over my “stage fright?”

Nothing helps a person get more comfortable performing in front of people than confidence. Confidence is the fuel that ignites a person’s desire for a public expression of their talent. By establishing greater control and range with your voice, your confidence will grow and with it your desire to let others hear the beauty and majesty of your gift.
