Many well known pro singers vow they never had a singing lesson in their life, but that is more the exception than the rule, as most professional singers have had at least a few vocal lessons. Many great vocalists got their vocal experience (lessons) singing in church.

I'll never forget attending a music seminar given by Harry Connick Jr where he told us he never had a singing lesson in his life, but after later checking into his background, found out he's had a number of vocal coaches and vocal teachers. Many pro singers like to give their fans the false impression that they were just born good singers, but the fact of the matter is that a voice coach will not only teach you the basic mechanics of vocal production but also help you 'fine tune' your unique vocal style as well. I recommend everyone here (even the best singers among us) to consider at least a few brush up lessons with a 'GOOD' vocal coach. You'll be amazed how much they can help you take your vocals to another level. - Scott
