How to set realistic voice transformation goals

When we start a new journey, we often dream of somewhat unrealistic achievements. This is completely natural. But the key to successful learning is gradual improvement rather than overnight changes. You need to set your goals before you start a class, but realistic ones.

• Start with assigning your current strength and challenges,
• Try to identify the areas you need to work on,
• Set long term goals,
• Instead of “I want to sing like Beyonce in 3 months,” you need to set this goal for 3 years.
• Instead of learning to sing songs, try to learn proper techniques
