Struggling with your singing voice?
In this article I tell a few hard truths about the business of singing, AND I outline the solution to resolving your vocal issues.
If you were under the impression that
talent alone is enough to take you from zero to hero as a singer, and yet in secret you struggle to deliver those seemingly basic notes in the studio AND on stage... and you’re
finding it hard to admit [even] to yourself that—after all, it MUST take more
than just TALENT to become a better singer, this article will aim to open up that
space for you, and help you better understand what it really takes to improve your
singing voice.
Have I struck a chord?
The more you care to consider what
you’re missing out on for lack of vocal training, the more you’ll want to find
out about what professional voice coaching can do for your career.
Well, I know there’s always the
YouTube video that hands out random tips on how to improve your singing
voice, but if you’ve tried learning to sing using these videos you’ll probably
have found out the hard way that it isn’t so easy.
And I will explain why.
Nothing beats private coaching.
There’s so much more about any individual’s vocal problems that you cannot even
begin to address with one-size-fits-all downloadable mp3 products and video
illustration.
And this is why, even though I DO offer similar products myself,
I’ve had to go the extra mile so as to become more accessible via WhatsApp because
I’ve learned from experience that a lot of folk downloading such voice training
products are using the training programs incorrectly—OR in a way that does not address their individual vocal issues—and without proper guidance, left to their own devices, they tend to achieve very little.
And so you’re going to be surprised
to find just how much more you stand to gain just by working with a voice coach
one-on-one.
I remember a good testimonial
from Luther Vandross about a book and audio training product he’d purchased,
and this is what he said.
“A couple of years ago, Stevie Wonder
put me on a counsel phone hook-up with Seth and we arranged to start some voice
study. Soon I became involved in Seth’s technique. I bought the book and also
sat in on lessons with a junior “Star Search” winner who got a contract with
CBS Records (whom I was producing). Seth’s vocal approach makes the high notes
solid and easy, with no need to resort to falsetto (unless for some special
effect). This approach is a valuable addition to making your styling easy,
always available and extending the life of your voice.”
So, books and audio downloads are a
great help, but private sessions with a professional voice coach—speaking from
my own experience as a coach—go a long way toward helping you realize your
full potential as a singer, as whatever is done in training will be tailored to
correcting YOUR individual vocal issues. Not that of another person—just YOU, personally!
If you’re the kind of person that wants
to become a better singer, I do sincerely hope this article has shed a bit more light on what it takes to become a far better singing
version of yourself.
