Natural Ability Or Training Options

[Owen]

Well I wanted to know your opinion on what make's a good voice, is it the time and effort put into training your voice and honing it to perfection or are some people more naturally gifted with good voices?

I realise that guitar is more something you can train to perfection - like Kris says no natural talent required, but vocally you only have what you are given originally.

So basically, do you think great singers are born with a natural ability or work towards good voices? Or perhaps a bit of both?

Good question...

My answer is : Yes!

When you are studying singing you are not only learning to sing on pitch. This is an important thing, but not the only one.
To sound good is like studying the "quality" of your voice (another important thing). This issue is about how much air are you using with the vocal cords. How the vibration of them is. When the vocal cords are vibrating wrong cause the air is not enough or too much, the sound of the voice is clearly bad and you can feel it too. So if you think that you have a bad sound is because of that. To train and control breathing is the answer. And then singing scales for the sound.


hope it help!
