I think the reason many coaches become coaches rather than "singers"...

is because they can't write a melody or lyrics.

 

I mean, these coaches have great technique and all that. But a lot of them (I'm talking the rock-oriented ones) write the cheesiest lyrics and melodies.

 

For example, take a look at Robert Lunte's performance on his original:

Robert Lunte always has good advice on his forum posts, and if I had the time and cash I'd go for one his power seminars, but man, this song is just bad.

 

Bottom-line, however, is a career in music (even in coaching) beats working at the local steel mill.

Maybe that is true, yeah. They may not have the motivation to be a singer / performer / artist, or they've tried and failed and need to make money.

 

I kinda think of it as...well, singing teachers either want to be teachers but don't want a heap of kids around all the time or strict school working hours, and they happen to be able to sing, so they teach that. Or they WERE singers / performers in some small sense, but then get old, can't sustain the lifestyle (not successful enough to afford it), so they become teachers as their day job.

I guess the same thing happens to singers as what happens to guitarists: the "widdly syndrome"

 

people with too much technique put the technique before what's best for the song. it's similar to a guitarist playing a million notes when the tune doesn't call for a shredfest.
