Vocal advancement...

[Blackwater Park]

ok, ive been wondering... when it comes to vocals, can u get BETTER at singing? I kno that people have vocal coaches and such, but you need to natrually be gifted first right? Is there a certain point a vocal coach wouldnt help at all?

i can't sing but a vocal coach helps alot more than learning some people are talented enough to sing and learn but others....NO.

you can get better. coaches will help you.

You certainly CAN become better. And no, you don't need to be a natural singer in order to take lessons and improve.

Right now, I'm teaching a 70 year old guy who came to me never having sung in his life. He couldn't match pitch and couldn't get through a single song. After a year, he matches pitch just fine, and has a singing role in a local musical. He is but one example. :)

Do be sure you find a singing *teacher,* however, and not a coach. A good teacher gives students all they need to know about vocal technique. A coach deals with stylistic issues.

you can get better by having determination and passion for it. i did. when i look at tapes of when i first started in my band, just 2 years ago, it was awful. very dull, very flat, but after reading tutorials on www.getsigned.com and on here, i've been able to practice the techinques and improve.
