Thanks! It does make sense that having this correct would be paramount. Any recommendations on good programs and/or how to tell if a coach is a good one?

I'm most interested in classical singing, which I guess does tend to be slower. I picked the songs because one was on the lower end and the other has quite a few higher notes which might be useful for knowing what is good/bad. I'm not really that knowledgeable about singing (yet anyway) though, so I don't know for sure. I could also post something a bit quicker if desired.

First time every posting anything of myself online, or really of anyone else listening to me sing. I've never really considered myself a singer, but really love singing and want to improve. I get the impression that its pretty much a requirement? to get a teacher if you really do want to improve and learn good technique. A question I have here is how can I, as a relatively inept singer/student recognize if the teacher is worth his/her salt? I've got a long ways to go, but wanted to get some feedback on some things I'm doing poorly or to focus on, as I begin to work on trying to improve myself. Put two different songs with different styles for people to listen to?
