Finding a singer

Singing lessons for band members.

Even good singers get lessons - - correction, many serious singers get lessons. In my experience, every single vocalist adverse to getting lessons wasn't that great.

One of my buddies who is a singer down South joined a church choir as they had a member who was a vocal coach and gave lessons for free to choir members.

Locally we also have a community chorus and local theater troupes. I always have an eye on those.

IME the open mikes never helped me with band networking, I found that most of the performers were either pretty average, or not interested in band situations. A lot are only used to accompanying themselves, I have seen a lot of timing issues when you play behind them, and complaints about that I'm off. Often, with a locked up drummer no less.

Also, many are solo performers interested in doing only their own material, BUT, around here the musical community is small and it doesn't take all that long to get the word out amongst them, I did find OM's useful for that.

I would like to do lessons but we lack the multitasking ability to sing and play at the same time. Some of the guys have stage presence issues that there working on currently. We would like a dedicated singer if possible.

We will probably trolling crowds at shows and going to open mic's though.
