Vocal Coach

Vocal Coaches are creative professionals who help singers, vocalists, actors, radio and TV presenters, recording artists, and public speakers become more confident and compelling performers. They have qualifications in music performance and/or speech pathology and may collaborate with medical professionals who specialise in vocal cord lesions and disorders.

As a Vocal Coach you could be helping a client overcome stage fright and general anxiety, demonstrating vocal exercises to a client that will improve their singing pitch and note accuracy, listening as a client practices for an upcoming speech, teaching a client a series of breathing exercises to improve their articulation and voice control, coaching a client before an important audition, assessing a client who wants to rehabilitate their singing voice, or referring a client with suspected vocal cord polyps to an ENT specialist.

To succeed in this occupation you will need to be an excellent communicator and have a genuine desire to help your clients overcome emotional and physical blocks to their vocal performance.
