Recently, I sang at kareoke at a local bar, and people complimented me how well I sang "New York, New York". I thought nothing of it... but I sang another Sinatra song in my car, and girlfriend said you can really hold a note well. My father was an acomplished nightroom singer of Sinatra type music... and when I was in grade school I was always in top singing clubs etc. But, my voice changed when I hit puberty, and I gave it up. Now, 13 or so years later... is it worth it to take vocal lessons. Id love to sing at a local nightclub or something someday. I have a great career and doubt I have the voice to be a big singer.... but is vocal coaching worth the money??

Voice lessons are a smart deal. You learn how not to damage your voice as well as some slick methods for making your singing better.

I have had four vocal coaches, so to be honest, it takes a while to find the right one for you. I've been with the same coach now for over a year and have improved incredibly since the first time I've started. She has taught me more about music than the previous three combined. Keep an open mind. If you are a girl, I would suggest a female teacher. Male, a male teacher, just because they both know what each gender should really sound like. If you are planning on going to college to be a musician or at least minor in music, then you absolutely need a vocal coach, as well as a piano teacher. If you are not too serious about it though, I would not recommend wasting your time, your coach's time and your money on lessons. Should you choose to take voice lessons though, if your coach is a good one, your voice will basically be given most of what it lacks. You will learn how to control your breathing, learn how to stand properly, sight read, sing classical and show tune pieces, convey emotion through music, stretch and maybe even broaden your range and prepare for auditions, concerts, musicals etc. However, (again, if your vocal coach is a good one) you will be critiqued more than you probably have in your entire life. Your coach will point out every single flaw in your piece just for the benefit of you knowing what you did wrong and how to fix them. If your coach compliments you every time you sing and never has a complaint, I would switch coaches for the benefit of your development. You will not learn anything from a coach who does not critique, and it WILL waste your money. While it may be an ego booster, it is not constructive and you will not improve. I hoped this helps! Good luck!
