[@sebastiancelesner9569]

You are absolutely great. Out of this world. I wish I could find a coach like you. Thank you very much for your videos and all your positive energy.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Much appreciated Sebastian! :) We are sending you thoughts of success, inspiration, and especially Joy! :)

[@sebastiancelesner9569]

Thanks so much. Same to you.

[@TheMiningMersie]

+New York Vocal Coaching Now the real question is how to convince my mom to get a vocal coach..

[@sebastiancelesner9569]

+Cameron Morin Tell your mom you love singing more than anything in this world (except her) and that it's your greatest dream to become a great singer, not necessarily famous, but that you would love to be able to express all your feelings with your voice without any vocal restrictions, to be able to reach your audience with a positive message, and most importantly, that you would love to sing for her. Or you can wait till Justin releases his vocal course on DVD, if he's still planning to do so. Anything you need, this is my fbk. I'm not a coach. I just love singing and studying vocal techinique. facebook.com/sebastian.gabriel.33 Hope it helps.

[@TheMiningMersie]

Thank you :D

[@tylernichols3012]

The fact that you do give out so much free high-quality content makes me want to buy the course over anyone else’s because I know yours is super good just from the free stuff

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Ha! We're super glad you like the show Tyler! Let us know if you purchase the course! 😄 -NYVC

[@tylernichols3012]

I bought the course!!

[@g3ven59]

I trained with a female and a male vocal coash and they're so full of themselves. Unfortunately, I don't have any other options but these two and when I ask them about something they just reply "you'd get it later" I swear, if they thought me 10% of what they know, I got my voice to 90% with these videos and working on my own If only I could work with you Justin... Such a wonderful tracher

[@jennysandoval587]

G3ven why don't you get a teacher online?

[@christinafurlow6815]

Jenny Sandoval actually some of the teachers at NYVC offer lessons online.

[@Wolfmoss1]

These videos are changing my life.

[@seankelly4228]

I came for the singing, I stayed for the positive vibe

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Lol! We're so glad you're here for both! :D -NYVC

Very good tips! After 5 and a half years of singing lessons here in the Netherlands, I had to stop because of financial reasons plus her last remark to me was: "If you ask me, I am not inspired by your songs either." I felt betrayed after all these years. That's like saying to somebody in a 3 year relationship: "Oh you're actually not my type." I went from Pop- Country-Ballads to Light old Jazz songs because the audience said to her behind my back that my voice is good for this genre and it was: I went way back into the old music and loved singing those songs from Duke Ellington, modern version from Natalie Cole for instance and performing at the local theater. I am still sad about how it went. She told me in an e-mail that Michael Jackson and two Dutch female artists inspired her. Kind of late now! Well I am an experience richer...

[@thephilosopher666]

In sports competitions, the winners usually thank their coaches. But I've never heard any vocal contest winner said:"Thank so much to ny voice teacher". Instead, they always thank their parents/sponsors/audience - but not voice teachers. Why does it happen like this?

[@nasjalil5063]

it is because singer's themselves have really big egos and want people to think mostly that their voice is something 'God' given to them. Fair enough, only a small amount is, the constant training and hard work of using proper vocal mechanics provided by the teacher is crucial to their development. Voice teachers like how Mr. Stoney said,are people who teach from the heart and leave their egos at the door, cause to them protecting the ego of their student is much more important. Sadly, singers should thank their coaches, i totally agree with this. Voice teachers rule!

[@timohairaksinen]

Good question. We can start by Thanks to Jason. He is Super good and gives all and a little more.

[@DanielDeakin]

This is so true and helpful. Most teachers are rubbish. I don’t know how the vocal industry is such a mess and there still manages to be so many good singers!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Very interesting! -NYVC

[@pAWNproductionsDE]

#3 im glad i heard this from you. i took lessons a while back, though only a few. the teacher was no doubt a great singer, but i really wasnt feeling any results, even after a few lessons. its good to know that i SHOULD be seeing at least some kind of immediate results

[@Charza56]

Thank you Justin - JUST what I needed to hear today and "JUST-in" time for a decision I am about to make regarding vocal coaches in my area. Thank you again for all your on-line resources - they are of great help!

[@einarchik]

Yeah, me too. It's so hard to find a great vocal coach. Thank you Justin for your videos.

[@annne023]

Another great video! I can tell you really love teaching and making these videos.

[@themithdraug]

Thank you so much dear justin! have a great life!

[@sidhcvs]

Excellent definition of a good teacher

[@megamaxmegimegamaxmegi5828]

You are from another planet! So gentle in your explanations and so devoted as a vocal teacher! Keep going!💖

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Mr. Stoney appreciates your super kind words, Mega! -NYVC

[@TommyMedal]

I couldn't agree more on this ideal, and thankfully my teacher matches these criteria perfectly!

[@makaelajoybragg7692]

This is a good checklist video for beginning teachers... thanks!

[@MorganWallaceMusic]

Love that he mentioned #8 - as a vocal coach, I always get weird vibes from coaching plans, courses, or series that require an upfront cost (ie. Brett Manning DVD's, not just regular consultation costs). I get it, but it feels closed handed, and always feels like those that do this are trying to trademark some special item or trick, and there aren't any. The best teachers are comprehensively generous, so GO JUSTIN!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Justin is grateful for your kind words, Morgan! We do our best! :) -NYVC

[@bindunair5460]

Liked your point 8 and 9..generosity and Ego

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

We're glad this resonated with you Bindu! -NYVC

[@1974greymalkin]

I have been singing my whole life. However, I have never had any training, I have always relied on my ear, and my ability to mimic. Recently, I was invited to sing for a rock band in my area and it has been so much fun. It has made me realize very quickly though, that I have a lot to learn. Your videos have really helped me and have inspired me to learn more about my instrument. Thank you, for everything. I think you are a fantastic teacher. I live in Boston MA. if you have any information on finding a good coach in my area I would appreciate any advice you may have.

[@muilenlucas9975]

WOW..Justin...you are a gift from God and bless you. Well said and if you give out your technique doesn't mean you loose your job or given out too much information...Singing is practices and not that it will appear if you know the technique. God bless and thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You will be very successful in whatever you do in music. :-)

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Wonderful comment! Justin does read all these. Thanks for watching. More coming next month! -NYVC

[@martincote7000]

Wish I saw that video before. As weird as it may seem, I was singing better BEFORE taking classes with my former teacher. She could sing but I always felt she was not the best at this job. She was not able to answer my question really clearly and we pretty much did the same thing over and over again without much improvement (10 classes). Happy I found your video, I'm actually getting better with these. Cheers! :D

[@nataliescovermusicswitzerland]

Fantastic and so true explanation! Thank you! Hopefully I will be taking classes at your school soon, Justin!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

COOL! :D Our teachers are always ready and excited for new students! -NYVC

[@zenobibonsai]

Justin for President!!!!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Lol! -NYVC

[@Purianite]

Thanks for this video. I was going through the list, thinking about the vocal coach I'm about to start training with soon, and she meets all the criteria here. I'm in good hands.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

WOO HOO! Congrats! :D -NYVC

[@russmaleartist]

Very nicely said, sir . . . .

[@JosephineDeSmet]

love your intro, great video!

[@phoebeluzs.santos5950]

great tips! almost cried. so insightful and genuine!

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Mr. Stoney is grateful for your generous words, Phoebe! -NYVC

[@omeira6182]

Hello, I'm from Brazil, and your videos have already helped a lot, and this one in special made me make up my mind on something really important. THANK YOU

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

We're so glad this helped you O Meira! Thanks for watching! ^_^ -NYVC

[@allyjk]

Thanks a lot brother Justin! Great things you've mentioned to seek in a voice teacher . Of course these must be the qualities a voice teacher should have in him . But I'm worried would I find such a voice teacher here? (except for you - I think you're what you've said about a voice teacher)

[@iamboy_wonder]

This is wonderful and inspirational, thanks Justine.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Yes, and we are all so glad Justin took that road. Such a blessing to us all. -NYVC

[@iamboy_wonder]

When is a new video coming out, can't wait. So hungry for more from Justin.

[@Aprilhojazz]

It's a great summary. I'm wondering if you should have more than one vocal teacher at one time. Should you have two teacher alternating from period to period? There are a few singers I like and they do teaching too. I feel like trying them out but I don't know if that will confuse me as they will bound to give me different ideas or even contradicting ones. Thanks.

[@JohnathanNguyen]

Excellent!..

[@muilenlucas9975]

Justin,I wish I can have a teacher like you as my teacher. I have been looking for the last whole year. wish you are in UK..

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

You can have him as your teacher. May I suggest Justin's vocal training course: voicelessonstotheworld.com/page/vocal_course It's very affordable. -NYVC

[@t.1230]

[@OperaticBaritoneSong]

[@gregorybanks7554]

Does your company offer online/skype lessons? if so how, are their concerns to using this platform?

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hello Greg. New York Vocal Coaching does offer SKYPE lessons with Mr. Stoney as well as our with our Vocal Staff. Please feel free to visit us at www.NewYorkVocalCoaching.com. Wishing you continued Joy on your vocal journey!

Dude, this filters ou 99.99% of vocal teachers out there lol

[@sebastiancelesner9569]

[@Wuthichai1]

You are A Great Voice Teacher I want you to be my Voice Teacher.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback and support for Justin! If you're interested in studying with Justin in NYC or over SKYPE, we invite you to contact our Scheduling Manager at [e-mail]. Thanks again, happy singing!

[@PS-sg4er]

Justin now has a vocal training course: voicelessonstotheworld.com/page/vocal_course

[@blazeyoung1892]

hey justin, is it normal to have 3 octaves of vocal range of an intermediate level of female singer?

[@charlye127]

Do a video about bass singers please :D

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Lol! -NYVC

[@aniketcomputertutorials9566]

@@NewYorkVocalCoaching No, I really mean it...Not many coaches teach that great!

[@zaltams_vlog]

Hello Justine! I just want to ask, why is it sometime i can sing higher songs using my mixed voice but the next day or most of the time i can't?🤔😁

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hi Zaltam! Great question! For a detailed answer from Justin, we recommend visiting his monthly live chat. The next one will be on April 24th! More info in our Community Tab! But, this is definitely common to be able to do something with the voice one day and the next it is more of a challenge. We need to learn to adapt and discover what our voice needs in order to create more consistency. Vocal technique and understanding how we’re achieving these vocal qualities is very important to consistency! Hope this helps! -NYVC

[@carloszamora4465]

I think you are a great person and amazing voice teacher, Do you offer any clases yourself? Because to find a teacher you described, might take a life time :)

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hi Carlos! You can find more about Justin's company at NewYorkVocalCoaching.com :) -NYVC

[@CamiUrquidi]

How do I know what type of voice do I have? Am I a soprano? Alto? From Bolivia...

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Unless you are doing classical music, there is really no need to classify your voice. However, the classifications have to do with the tone of your instrument, rather than your singing range. -NYVC

[@playagamelp2441]

It doesn’t really matter

[@theinternetghost331]

I don’t need to, I have the NYVC here on KZbin!

[@annettedillon3233]

My question for a future episode would be, how can a voice teacher help transgendered people? I was asked for help by someone who wanted to sound more female. It may be an issue for females on male hormones too.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Hi Annette! You can send your question in to [e-mail]! -NYVC

[@ntjhnssntn95]

Goodness me, this man is a great man. You should lay more eggs, sir! Haha. Just kidding. You're such a well rounded teacher. I would love you to be my teacher anytime, anywhere. Such a good fella.

[@SharpZVadErZ]

Anyone knows a teacher Who sounds like Jonny Craig?

[@69Flynn]

what if the Coach, is a fabulous singer in his own right.

[@NewYorkVocalCoaching]

Great singers can be great teachers! But just because someone can sing really well doesn't necessarily mean they know what exactly they are doing or how to teach others. :) -NYVC
