If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/zRZMF an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.

ROD STEWART
STILL THE SAME…GREAT ROCK CLASSICS OF OUR TIME
With the release of STILL THE SAME…GREAT ROCK CLASSICS OF OUR TIME, Rod Stewart returns to his roots. A landmark recording of great songs by his contemporaries, and Stewart's first rock album in over eight years, STILL THE SAME…follows the unprecedented success of his Grammy-award winning Great American Songbook series. The four volumes of The Great American Songbook released between 2002 and 2005, comprise the biggest selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history, with a total of fifteen million copies worldwide.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Rod Stewart has one of the greatest and most distinctive voices in rock history. Throughout his almost forty-year career, he has applied that unmistakable tone to material by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Tom Waits. Just as the often-imitated “Songbook” albums focused on unforgettable compositions from the ‘30s and ‘40s, STILL THE SAME… concentrates on music from an unprecedented era – the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, when rock songwriting was truly breaking through to new heights.
On STILL THE SAME…, Stewart takes ownership of a thoughtfully chosen set of songs crafted by such masters as Bob Dylan (“If Not For You”), Van Morrison (“Crazy Love”), Bob Seger (“Still the Same”), and John Fogerty (“Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” the first radio single from the album). Several of Stewart’s other selections sound like they were written for his signature, inimitable rasp in the first place, like Bonnie Tyler’s “It’s a Heartache” and “Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” a 1976 hit for Elvin Bishop.
“We’ve chosen tracks very carefully to go with my voice,” says Stewart. “We felt that these were songs that were due for a revisit, and made sure that they blend together as a single piece of work.”
Produced by John Shanks - winner of the 2005 “Producer of the Year” Grammy award, who has worked with such artists as Sheryl Crow and Melissa Etheridge - and co-produced by Clive Davis, STILL THE SAME… features a lean band of top-notch session musicians including Kenny Aronoff and Dean Parks. (“We had a really well-rounded band,” says Stewart, “and a pretty good singer, too!”) The range of its production is displayed in sounds from the soaring Badfinger hit “Day After Day” to the most contemporary song included, the Pretenders’s 1994 ballad “I’ll Stand By You.”
Having developed a whole new audience through the “Songbook” series, with STILL THE SAME…GREAT ROCK CLASSICS OF OUR TIME, Rod Stewart has once again changed his tune.
* * *
It starts, of course, with the voice. A voice that best-selling author Chuck Klosterman referred to in Spin magazine as "the single greatest male singing voice of the rock era." A voice so distinctive, said "Songbook" III and IV producer Steve Tyrell, that "he sings just two notes and you know it’s Rod Stewart."
Rod Stewart and his characteristically throaty, impressively expressive, and surprisingly versatile voice had been knocking around the London club scene with groups like Steampacket and Long John Baldry’s band before he connected with ace guitarist Jeff Beck in 1968. Their collaborations in the Jeff Beck Group brought Stewart to the spotlight on the blazing Truth and Beck-Ola albums (both of which were just reissued in expanded, re-mastered editions). But it was when Stewart joined forces with the greatest party band in rock history, the magnificent Faces, that he truly hit his stride.
For about a half-dozen years, Stewart went back and forth between recording and touring with the Faces ("punk prototypes," as Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy has called them) and launching his own wildly successful solo career. After his first two albums on his own—1969’s The Rod Stewart Album and 1970’s Gasoline Alley—revealed the range and artistry of a vocalist previously best known as a shouter, everything came together for Every Picture Tells a Story in 1971. Universally acknowledged as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, it includes Stewart’s soulful, commanding takes on folk, R&B, and blues material; the astonishing title track; and the international Number One smash, "Maggie May." The album also demonstrated that along the way, he had become a top-flight songwriter.
