Can a voice teacher widen your voice range?

Question

Can a voice teacher widen your voice range?

Answer 1

Definitely. When I started working with a voice teacher, she helped me to realize that, although I had thought I was a lyric soprano, I'm actually a coloratura soprano, meaning that she extended my higher register from a high d flat to a high f sharp.

Answer 2

Voice teachers can do wonders.

Answer 3

You can't extend more than what your range allows. A good vocal teacher will test the water first to make sure that he or she down't damage your vocal chords.

Answer 4

A good voice teacher coupled with the student's dedication to practicing can definitely widen vocal range.
