Step 1
Ask friends and peers for recommendations. In your local theater or musical group there are bound to be others who have searched to select a voice coach and can give you good people to go to and ones to avoid.
-
Step 2
Know what questions to ask. You want to be comfortable with anyone who is helping you train your voice. Ask about the cost per session, the person's credentials, and ask for students they have had that you may contact for referrals.
-
Step 3
Choose someone you are comfortable with. As you interview prospective coaches, select a voice coach that you have an easy time talking to. The key to vocal lessons is to help you relax your vocal chords, and that is difficult if the person coaching you rubs you the wrong way.
-
Step 4
Have them sing for you. You are interviewing them to select a voice coach that is right for you. Make sure you are impressed with their voice before you pay someone to teach you how to use yours.
-
Step 5
Choose someone with a range you can match. You will find it is easier to imitate someone in your vocal range while training than going with someone who you cannot imitate at all. Imitation is not the most important aspect of training, but it can really help.
