The individual may also gain strength to balance pitch issues and stretch their range further so that they can become more flexible in their abilities.

Although it may seem that choosing a voice instructor should be a relatively simple matter, finding one that is qualified, and suitable to a person's particular style, can be rather difficult. They need to be quite versatile and able to teach, accompany and demonstrate techniques effectively. A potential problem is that someone may be too settled in a specific genre to be beneficial to a student who specializes in another style.

Finding this type of instructor in a major metropolitan area such as Los Angeles, CA, which has a strong stage, film, or music presence, is going to be much simpler than locating one in a small town with no real performance community. Many voice coaches advertise their services in trade papers, on social media or other internet platforms. One may want to consider contacting music teachers at local universities, colleges, or or high schools, that have a reputable music program, because they typically hold music education degrees and are proficient in applicable techniques.

Before choosing an instructor, one would benefit from thoroughly evaluating their qualifications and credentials. Ask plenty of questions about their professional experience, educational training, versatility in style, and take a moment to talk with students, both past and present. Requesting a complimentary lesson would provide the opportunity to see if the student and teacher are compatible.

Before committing to a long-term collaboration, a person should have a few trial lessons to see if they feel that special connection.
