You will need training and coaching to learn how to use your voice. Even if you're blessed with a silky smooth voice, you'll need to learn how to use your voice and how to deliver as wide a range of vocal styles as possible.

Can you be serious? Whimsical? Can you do accents or dialects? Character voices? Can you raise your performance to another level? The more versatile you are, the more jobs you'll get. Your voice is your instrument and coaching will help you learn to play your instrument.
