Patience,work,good teacher. From my experience-30 y.on stage as a classical singer,15 y.as a vocal coach it’ s about amount of work what you put in.What are the goals and level you want to achieve. I can achieve great results in 4 lessons.Then the hard part.Muscle memory.All muscles in vocal chords area.Must train them.Like sports.Lead and work with them with your mind.Good teacher with system and plan,patience,will to work-results will come.Good words are helpful too but they must have a reason behind them. There will be drawbacks.As a singer I have had a lot of them,you keep working smart and there are no more.Or new ones:)Then you work more. I have performed in great concert halls,it took me 10 years.And I am still learning.

Nice to read each and every instructor. I wanted to add a story about a unsatisfied student I had once, that made me reconsider if my advice was really on point. He was not a regular student. He said he’ll come back but I advised him to seek help elsewhere, maybe at a teacher that he resonates more or understands what they mean. I think we didn’t really catch up that well, and wanted to be level with him and wholeheartedly find something that works for him. Afterwards I joined a course in Estill method, that gave me a whole new perspective and a language to use that is not vague at all, it is anatomy based. Combined with other research and methods, that has really helped me to be on point. Yes, he definitely made me a better teacher!

It completely depends on where the problem is.. Mostly it helps talking about it, listening and seing if the student have an unrealistic goal or put too much pressure on themselves. Perhaps the student does not practise on their own and expect quick results. Sometimes the student perhaps just need assurance that they are on the right path. Some people need more encouragement than others. Some just need a little “high-five”! Some have more complex mind problems where the student need other mental guidance out of a bad experience. There are no fixed answers.

I first understand the frustration but could only encourage them to push past it because there’s going to be plenty of times/day where they will be upset. Vocal performance is just that, a performance. Part of this has to be stored and used during a future performance. Another part would be continue to practice through it. Do the work before the only way to get better at anything is to put in the work-daily.
