Whether you want to sing in classical style, belt style or anything in between, there’s an old saying that the voice is the only instrument that you have to build before you can use it.  It is.

While singers need to learn musical skills like any other musician, there are some considerations that are unique to the vocal instrument.
So, what’s the difference between a “voice teacher” and a “vocal coach”?  The terms sound pretty similar and people tend to use them interchangeably.  And, the distinction is even trickier because the job descriptions do overlap.
A young singer asked me recently why it was that she could sing the way she wanted to in her lessons, but her voice didn't always work the same way when she was on stage in a performance.

I laughed!  Why did I laugh?
