    There's so many vocal teachers on UA-cam (and I've watched so many, repeatedly, doing their warmups, etc)... I honestly don't think anyone is more helpful than Mark Baxter. This is coming from a guy with two vocal cord surgeries (2008 and 2013). I'm a tenor (maybe baritone, depending on the day, haha), part-time music teacher (guitar, drums, bass, keyboards/piano, and music production). I've been trying to strengthen the good singing voice I had prior to 2008, and Mark's videos have undoubtedly been the most helpful. Thanks again, Mark!

      It's very hopeless to ask but as ur a vocal coach, will you teach me to expertise my singing. Idk how to ask in other way. It's just a request . I love singing, you can check my channel to hear my singing. I wna improve very badly, I search for western vocal coaches, I don't get them in my country.

    Thanks for the help! I love all of the videos that you post on UA-cam to help people to learn and sing better. The main reason for my question was, I was singing karaoke at a bar and the DJ was setting it up the best way for him and not for the singer. When I use all of my recording equipment and as I sing with my guitar, it sounds amazing. I guess I was just mad because I have never sounded that good singing karaoke. I'm a singer, songwriter in Nashville working on a publishing deal, so I can't be to bad. hahahaha. Thanks a million, I will always watch your videos!!!!

    Mark Baxter is good for both professional vocalists and amateurs, he does not go in to advanced lip rolls or yaya excercises from the start like some do. He starts with easy stuff and slowly teaches you how to warm up and develop your voice. My latest vocal coach Birgit recomended his stuff for my homework and he shows me methods that works brilliantly even in times when I havent done the work I should to maintain my vocal strenght. Just like Birgit did :)
