What kind of vocal training did Lady Gaga have?

Question

I want to sing like Gaga and I'm planning to sign on for a vocal training course. The problem is I don't know exactly what kind of training she had.

So my question is, what kind of vocal training class should I join in order to sing like her?

And how long will does it take on average to sing well? By 'singing well' I don't really mean to sing like a professional singer like Celine Dion or Mariah Carey, but to be able to master breathing techniques and how to project your voice clearly with power and stuff like that.

Thanks in advance for those who answers, and good day to you!

Answer 1

Gaga's Sound of Music tribute performance took her months to train for. It was her most technically brilliant performance, and she hired a vocal coach for that one. Not entirely sure who it was, but I think the coach was known as a celeb vocal coach.





Also, Gaga is said to be trained classically during college, so it was basically years before she even sung like that.







I really wouldn't like to be a Debbie Downer, but I'd say one whole year to at least know enough of what you need to. But that's like the fastest it could get, which I don't think happens normally.

Answer 2

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanottan (Lady GaGa) studied voice at New York University's Tisch School of Arts, but she took voice lessons from an early age and all through school was involved in drama and music. Even today as a top professional entertainer she continues to study with expert vocal coaches. This just goes to prove that it's not all talent, it's training as well. With few exceptions, the world's foremost celebrities are well educated even if they don't talk about it much.



Except for the sort of singers whose popularity fades before their voices give out, they are all trained. A big part of the appeal to young people is the idea that they can do it with no education at all because they are lead to think that famous people don't have training, but that's just a myth. The great ones may not have fancy conservatory degrees, but they are well trained singers, bet on it.



If you really want to sing like that you should be doing two things right now. You should be in your school chorus and every single thing that has to do with music and performing arts, and you should be working every week with a fully trained professional teacher, Not somebody who sings better than you, but a real teacher that you pay for lessons. If you happen to go to church, join the choir. There's no better opportunity to learn to sing for free than a church choir.



Learning to sing well doesn't always take years of work -look at how many talented young people there are in entertainment - but it does take work, dedication, and training. Almost nobody is 'discovered' by accident. A successful career in music is the result of a plan, and that includes training. So stop daydreaming about it and get to work, you'll do fine!

Answer 3

If you want to know a very good vocal coach try to visit https://tr.im/singingcourses an online vocal coaching tutorial. Everything, ranging from breathing fundamentals, vocalizing exercises, techniques on singing high and low notes, how to not go off-key/out of tune/off-sync, musicianship and music theory, proper diction and articulation, and a lot more are covered, all in our native language. It can be quite technical in nature, but it really helps since it covers the musical aspect of singing deeply and not just concentrates on how to impress people with your vocal range, riffs and runs and other cliches that do not necessarily make one a complete vocalist.

Answer 4

Then again, you are YOU, NOT Lady Gaga! Please do NOT try to imitate anyone famous, instead find YOUR OWN voice and work on that!



Either join a choir, start saving for OFFLINE one-on-one lessons with a good teacher or find yourself another hobby!



In fact, it takes obviously some talent, some luck, LOTS of patience, diligence, courage, hard work, dedication and LOTS of lessons with a GOOD vocal teacher. Besides, your voice will keep maturing until you are in your mid-30s so you need a lot of TIME as well. Therefore:



Sorry, but THE ONLY SAFE way to learn the correct singing techniques & to improve properly IS to take OFFLINE face-to-face singing lessons with a fully trained vocal teacher! The teacher HAS TO BE in the same room with you, so that he/she can give you proper feedback. However, even the best teachers in the world cannot make wonders, so please be realistic with this. Singing lessons are NOT going to help if one is tone-deaf! Please do NOT rely on any dodgy web tutorials because that way you can misunderstand things VERY EASILY and develop bad habits, hoarseness, vocal nodules and other nasties IN NO TIME, and even though you would sound good! It is always much wiser to invest a little bit of your money/time to face-to-face lessons rather than wasting the same amount of money (or even more!) to frequent ear-nose-throat specialist visits due to aforementioned problems, so please reconsider this. If you can't afford vocal lessons, then joining a choir is the only SAFE alternative option. And believe me, but even MANY of those who have music as their hobby DO take lessons as well! Always remember to warm up your voice properly, but please know your limits and don't overdo your voice! Remember the diaphragmatic support, do not strain your throat too much! Also, remember good body posture! Avoid fizzy drinks (burp danger), dairy products (mucus risk), caffeinated products (coffee & tea included, they dry up your throat) and spicy food (irritation risk)! You can consume these things, but NEVER before singing! Do NOT shout, yell, scream nor otherwise abuse your voice AT ANY TIME! Also, please respect your vocal range; if your teacher says you are, say, more of an alto (baritone if you are male), then you ARE more of an alto (baritone). DO NOT try to imitate anyone famous, that will usually give you just bad habits and even damage your throat. You are YOU and your voice is unique, so please learn to cherish that. The world does NOT need copycats. Do NOT sing, whisper, shout, yell nor scream if having a sore throat/cold/flu, Also, do speak as little as you can if you have flu/cold/sore throat! Remember to drink at least 2 litres of room-temperature still water every day, not just during singing days! Smoking is a big no-no, as is inhaling secondhand smoke. Also, avoid staying in dusty and/or moldy environment.



There you go, leave it or take it, but self-help is as DANGEROUS as trying to perform a minor surgery on oneself after watching how it is done in an episode of Chicago Hope or Holby City.
