Don't know anything about Bel Canto or Seth Riggs, but I swear by Roger Love. He's worked with everyone from Rob Thomas to John Mayer to metal bands, and you can buy is book (with CD) for like 15 bucks ("Set Your Voice Free".) Not as good as a vocal coach, but a good alternative to not taking any lessons at all. Can you learn to sing higher and longer and easier just by reading his book and singing the practice exercises on Roger's CD? Yes, you definitely can.

If I were going to go to a vocal coach, I'd want Roger. But since he charges more for one lesson than I make in a week, I doubt it will ever happen...

(Actually I don't know what he charges, but he's currently coaching John Mayer so I guess he's probably too busy for me.)
