Many of the students who attend VOCOLAB start with "first time voice training" and "little to no musical experience." Please rest assured that we will carefully teach you the basics, such as how to project your voice, breathing, and posture.
Of course.
VOCOLAB is not a place to come after you have improved, but a place to come in order to improve your skills. Your current level is not important.

People of all ages, from teenagers to those in their 60s and older, attend our clinic. Those who feel that it may be too late are the ones who experience the biggest changes.

We place great importance on building a strong vocal foundation, regardless of the genre, including pop, J-POP, R&B, Western music, musicals, and K-POP.
Yes, it is possible.
At VOCOLAB, we believe that the reasons why people can't produce high notes are different for each individual. We carefully analyze how you use your vocal cords, the balance between falsetto and natural voice, and how you use your breathing and body, and then we create a training menu with the order and content that's right for you. Rather than forcing yourself to produce high notes, we aim to achieve stable, reproducible high-pitched vocalization by gradually adjusting your voice.
You will feel the difference even with just a trial lesson.
Although it varies from person to person, many people find it easier to produce sound after just one or a few lessons. By continuing, you will see a big improvement in your voice stability and expressiveness.
All of them are experts who have been seriously dealing with voice for many years.

The level of expertise and responsibility in teaching is different.
The difference is in the expertise of the instruction and the way we take responsibility for the voice. At VOCOLAB, we don't use easy phrases like "You'll definitely improve." The voice is very delicate, and the reasons and risks for not being able to hit high notes vary from person to person.

On the other hand, there are many cases where instructors take on the role of instructor without sufficient education or on-the-job experience, and it is true that there is a risk of injuring one's throat due to incorrect pronunciation.

We will not force you to join, so if you feel like "I want my voice to be properly heard" or "I don't want to take any more detours or make any more mistakes," then please give it a try.
