Question:
I’m a 15 year old boy and each year I’ve been told that my voice deepens slightly… but it hasn’t broken yet. I also have a slight British accent whilst living in South Africa… I am going to start Pro singing lessons… Will this improve/deepen my voice? Or is there another method? When I record myself singing, I listen to the playback and get embarrassed… thinking if thats really what my voice sounds like; yet most people say that when I sing it sounds good… Please Help!
Answer:
Yes! Voice lessons help. Your voice will deepen in its own time but lessons will help you learn to support it, to make it reliable without straining. You will also learn how to hear yourself, how to listen for the beauty that others hear. Singing tends to take away the accent because we focus on making the sounds purely and precisely. Enjoy your studies! There is so much to learn and singing just keeps getting better.
