Vocal training always starts with five fundamentals: how you breathe, how you hit notes, how you keep time, how you shape words and how you produce sound.

• Breath support involves drawing air deep into your belly rather than your chest, so you can sustain notes without strain
• Pitch means training your ear to recognise and reproduce musical notes precisely
• Rhythm involves singing at the right tempo and holding notes for their full duration
• Diction shapes consonants and vowels crisply, making your performance intelligible
• Tone is how your sound travels through your throat, mouth and nasal cavities to create richness

Mastering these basics gives you the tools to tackle any genre, from pop to classical.

Private voice coaching in Richmond averages £37/h, though rates vary depending on several factors.

Several things influence how much you pay:

• How much technique you already have versus how much you need to develop
• The coach's qualifications, training and years of teaching experience
• How often you meet and whether you book single sessions or commit to a package
• The lesson format, with in-person sessions sometimes costing more than video calls

Some tutors provide package deals that lower the hourly rate when you book multiple sessions.

The four standard voice types describe where your comfortable singing range sits, from the highest female notes down to the deepest male tones.

• Soprano typically ranges from middle C up to high C and often carries the melody
• Alto provides a solid middle layer that blends with both higher and lower voices
• Tenor is the highest adult male voice, characterised by a light yet powerful sound
• Bass typically ranges from E two octaves below middle C to E above it

Knowing your voice type lets you choose songs that suit you and avoid straining on notes outside your range.
