Just recently I had a student tell me, Â “I don’t like my voice. I’m hoping that it will start to sound different after taking lessons for awhile.” Â Unfortunately, this is how many, many people feel about their own singing voice. Â Thus, much of my job as a teacher is to help my students appreciate their own voice and gain confidence in using it. Â One of the first things I tell students is that “if you think that you are here to learn to sound like _(insert favorite singer’s name here)__, you’re going to be disappointed. Â I’m here to help you find YOUR voice and to learn how to use it’s full potential. Who knows? Â You may end up loving your voice more than so-and-so’s *wink*.”
Here is what one very wise teacher (Catherine McNeela) has to say.
