When I see the singers I have work with for a while perform and receive a positive feedback from the public, I feel happy, yet I’m not surprised. A coach must know beforehand, the artistic potential of his students. This will allow the vocal coach to guide the singer to maximize his potential. The coach can visualize what the student needs and create a plan of action. This plan of action has a clear goal of how the artist can rise with training, and the coach has to be ready to work towards that goal with his/her student.
The singer’s growth takes time. It is a long process of inner search and maturity attainment. The student needs to establish a compromise with his art to allow his talent to flourish. The singer will experience this transformation through his/her classes. He/she will be able to differentiate between just having the talent or voice, and being a true artist.
Each aspect will be developed and then put together like a puzzle. The singer will feel validated when he starts experiencing his accomplishment s at each point of the process. This will provide the singer with confidence that will reflect in the way he/she interprets a song and in the way he/she connects with the audience. The acceptance by the public should confirm that the coach’s work has been valid and effective. This is the highest form of testimony that the coaching has provided the necessary tools for the singer to perform.
