For many of you looking into getting a vocal coach or voice teacher, a trip to Nashville may not be possible right now. Although you can manage an occasional Skype lesson or two with a Brett Manning certified associate from time to time, you still find you really want to have that personal one-to-one time that a good coach would provide to help with your development as a singer. So, what should you look for?
A Good Coach
A good vocal coach will assess your individual abilities and needs, and will help you set realistic goals. They will personalize your sessions so that you achieve short-term goals that tie into your long-term goals.
A good vocal coach provides instant feedback to ensure that you are performing exercises correctly to get maximum results and prevent injury. A good coach is patient but will also challenge you as necessary. And, a good coach both motivates and encourages while keeping you honest in your efforts to improve.
Comfort Level
You need to be comfortable with the vocal coach, and you want to make sure that they will not do anything that needs to be undone down the road. So you need to evaluate potential candidates for coaching. You want to make sure that they are at least eclectic and open in their approach so that what you learn through Brett Manning’s method and programs can be supported by your vocal coach relationship. And, of course, we strongly suggest that you get Mastering Mix or Singing Success, along with other programs offered at SingingSuccess.TV, to help with your progress.

Interview The Prospective Coach
There are a number of questions to ask anyone you are looking into as a possible vocal coach or voice teacher. These questions cover everything from their qualifications to availability. You want the coach-student relationship to be as perfect a fit as possible, with a level of comfort and trust that invites challenge and growth without intimidation.
You also want to research fees of vocal coaches in your area to get a sense of the going rate. Be aware that expensive isn’t necessarily better, but cheap might really mean of poor or questionable quality.
A good strategy is to make a list of the best teachers in your area without considering the financial factor. You can then factor in your budget as part of your final decision. A more costly coach might mean taking fewer lessons per month. But, by supplementing your training with products from SingingSuccess.TV, that might be a workable plan of action.
