General Singing Question from a teen: Can anyone have a nice voice?
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Is it possible for everybody to be able to have a nice singing voice? I feel like my voice is that nice, but I want to make it soothing like ‘hello-goodbye’ or something like that. So is it possible for all people to have a nice voice? What would you suggest? Should I take voice lessons or what?
Answer: Hi Jim (not his real name),
I don’t think I’ll be saying anything original.
Most anyone who has the desire and the perseverance to receive coaching from a competent voice teacher can improve their voice, improve their sound, improve the degree of flexibility the voice has, improve the voice’s expressive qualities and its range. To become a good singer, one also has to have a “good ear.” This means that you find it easy to sing in tune when you sing a melody, and also possess some innate musical sense.
