FDP Forum / Sing, Sing, Sing! - Vocalist's Forum / Had it with Flake singers talking vocal lessons, any tips?
After dealing with flaking singers for far too long I am taking vocal lessons. I don't have illusions of being a front man, I just want to be able to sing and play and hit up some open mics or the solo acoustic gig. So have any of you gone this route? I have my first lesson wed. I just wanted to see if anyone has tips or things I should talk to the vocal coach about.
I went from thinking I can't sing to taking lead on 2 or 3 tune I could do more but we have a singer. I took lessons and worked hard at it. You need to learn how to sing.
Open your mouth wide when you sing. Think vertical (in the shape of your mouth). Bounce the sounds off the hard roof of your mouth. Press your belly out.
Wow, that was 5 years ago.
Over 5.5 years later, I would like to know how the voice lessons turned out.
You've never heard of Ed Sheeran? He's doing pretty good these days.
