Singing Lessons Tragedy- Hundreds Severely Damage Their Voice Due To Incompetent Vocal Coaches

Oct. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA –  It seems that everyone today is taking singing lessons so they can be the next  “American Idol “  or “X-Factor Champion”.  After all, winning one of these and many other competitions can put you on track for a very lucrative singing career. But when it comes to taking singing lessons, it is critically important that you find a vocal coach that not only knows exactly how to train your voice properly, but has very high credentials and an outstanding reputation in the singing community.

Master Vocal Coach Ken Tamplin of KTVA (Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy), considered by many reputable, music professionals as one of the greatest vocal coaches in the world today, has seen horrifying results that were caused by vocal coaches who have no clue as to the proper techniques and methods for training the voice.

“I've known people who started with very strong singing voices that took vocal instruction from vocal coaches they had not investigated prior to taking instruction, “ said Ken Tamplin. “Many of them ended up ruining their voices. It's absolutely tragic!”

The stories of people critically hurting their singing voice due to faulty vocal training is on the rise. Like a girl who already had a phenomenal singing capacity. She moved to the East Coast to pursue a career on the Broadway stage and was quick to employ a vocal coach. She never checked the coach out and started a rigorous training program that, over the course of three months, shredded her vocal cords. It's been over two years now, and she has her voice back but it will never be the same as it was. She had worked her whole life for a singing career only to have this vocal coach destroy it in three months because he really did not know what he was doing. She was totally devastated.

In fact, there seems to be a dramatic increase in the number of appointments made with voice doctors for numerous vocal problems, many which can be traced back to improper vocal training. Incidences of strained vocal cords, severe swelling, nodules and throat ruptures are commonplace. Many of these students related that they were told by their vocal coach their voice would feel strained for a short period of time while the vocal coach worked with them.

“That is absolutely incorrect,” states Ken Tamplin. “When taking singing lessons or online singing lessons, if you employ proper vocal techniques and methods, there should never be any straining or discomfort whatsoever.”

He was also quick to point out that some of the blame may rest on the student. “Some people want to be a singing sensation, like, yesterday. They rush to improve their singing voice and capacity as quickly as possible and push themselves beyond the breaking point because they're moving too fast in the process. But any reputable vocal coach should immediately recognize this and educate the student as to the harm they are causing their voice if they push too hard.”
