And just as you don’t need any certificates to become a singing teacher (or indeed any knowledge or experience), there are no qualifications to become a vocal coach. Although many vocal coaches have worked at a high level in the music industry as performers (often on keyboards or as a conductor), not all of them have sung professionally. They are usually instrumentalists first, so will have a good grasp of music and style. There are a handful of vocal coaches who really know about the physiology of the voice so when you meet a coach who can do both, treasure them!
