What's the point of taking voice lessons?

"I'm a bad singer, what's the point"/"I'm already good, why take lessons?"
Singing is a way of making music with your body. Just like any other instrument, singing requires fine motor skills and coordination. Those who are new to singing may feel that they are a "lost cause," but with the right teacher they can learn how to find control and freedom in their singing. Those who are "already good" can always benefit from learning more! For more advanced singers, voice lessons can help catch habits before they become problematic, expand their skills to find more versatility in their singing, and learn technique that can lead to a long, sustainable career of healthy singing.

"Singing is a talent you're born with"
Singing is a skill that can be learned. While some people may be able to make exciting, beautiful sounds without training, everyone can learn how to sing. And don't you want to find out what your voice can do?

"If I'm not going to be famous, what's the point?"
We make decisions every day to improve our lives and explore our hobbies, passions, and things that bring us joy. It's always worth investing in yourself, and who knows? With the right teacher, you can achieve things you've only ever dreamed of.

"I'll just watch some YouTube videos"
As a studio who posts tips and tricks about singing on social media, this may seem hypocritical, but what you see online is only a snapshot. Often information is left out, or stated in a way that doesn't tell the full story. Most importantly, it's not catered to your unique voice, brain, and body. Private voice lessons ensure that you are getting instruction that is tailored to your goals, voice, and personality.

Ever wonder "how come certain notes feel easier in some songs than others"? Part of the reason may have to do with the combination of vowels and consonants in the words that you're singing. Exploring different approaches in your vocal warm-ups can set you up for success in your rep!

Using a "v" in your vocal exercises can help find the "just right" placement in the event that you're using "too much" compression or "not enough"

"h" consonants like in the word "ha" can help with a softer approach, especially if your goal is to find a breathy vocal quality (pro tip: try this to achieve the lovely "intimate" vocal colors of a Billie Eilish song)

using a "y" at the beginning of a word like "yeah" or "yes" promotes a forward, sloped tongue which can result in a brighter tone, forward placement, while helping you avoid pulling back the tongue, especially on higher pitches ❤️🎵

Rest and recovery are equally as important as putting in the work! If your brain or body is telling you they need a break, take it!🎵❤️
