Vikki quote
"All of you need to remember that I am in the business of performing where every nuance of the tonal quality, clarity of the vowel & ability to sing on pitch + good diction, etc., is crucial. I would argue that every performer can be helped to perform better with good coaching, just like every pro golfer can help their game with good coaching. I've been taking lessons for 16 years and I consider it my responsibility to continue to coach, since I work as a coach & and should be working on my own instrument/abilities so I have insights that I can pass on to my students... and also so that I can perform & record decent vocal performances."
The problem is that a pro golfer will not be helped much taking lessons from a football coach. Bad analergy. In reality rock singing is so far removed from the style you and most coaches teach I can see little or no benefits. As I said before the techniques used go against all formal coaching. You have stated this on many occasions talking about straining and abusing. If you take a wild stallion and tame break him in he ceases to be a wild stallion.
I will take my chances singing the way I do. But just to put a spanner in the works I can sing in a traditional style as well. I have to when I do cabaret for the tweenies and wrinklies at holiday camps.
