I had a singing lesson, once. An engineer said he would punch me in the face every time I made a throaty “ahg” at the begining of every line!

Mark. If you’re in a position to have lessons, I would say, why not!? You’re obviously not tone-deaf and you might discover a new voice you never knew you had.

When I was a kid I was a member of the Young Canada Singers and our weekly practices included quite a bit of vocal instruction that I’ve always thought helped me a lot as a vocalist. I’ve always remembered what Mrs. Craddock taught us and use it to this day.
