By Brenda Brown

Although it may seem that choosing a voice instructor should be a relatively simple matter, finding one that is qualified, and suitable to a person's particular style, can be rather difficult. They need to be quite versatile and able to teach, accompany and demonstrate techniques effectively. A potential problem is that someone may be too settled in a specific genre to be beneficial to a student who specializes in another style.
