What are the benefits of taking voice lessons?

Voice lessons don't only help you sing better, but also increase your
abilities to be more effective in your personal and professional life.
Lessons often include exercises in breathing, articulation, and
performing. You learn how to breathe and speak correctly, so that you
can project and enunciate well. You will also learn methods that help
keep your voice strong and healthy to avoid irritation and raspiness.
Also, voice teachers can help guide you to be a great performer;
whether you intend to be a performer or a business person, these
skills will prepare you to be competitive and successful.
Breathing exercises can better your singing tone in sound quality as
well as resonance. (Resonance causes your voice to "ring" so that it
can be heard clearly at any volume level.) Good breathing technique
from your diaphragm muscle can also help increase your maximum volume
level.
Voice lessons may also include exercises to aid clear enunciation and
articulation. Singing teachers often teach phonetics including the
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to correctly pronounce words so
that a large group of people can best understand you.
Even if you articulate well, it would be useless without a healthy
voice! More than half of the population has vocal damage without even
knowing it. Many people use their voice in their job, and it can be
devastating when your voice stops working. Do you live with a chronic
raspy voice? Do you often lose your voice completely? With voice
lessons, you don't have to!
Singing also teaches presentation skills. Often, songs require a bit
of acting in order to project a certain mood, story, or character.
Other songs just require your natural presence, which can actually be
very difficult to maintain while in front of a large audience! Voice
lessons can teach you how to move naturally while performing. Singing
helps you build confidence so that you can not only be a great
performer on stage, but in all social situations!
