Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am assuming that you are quite versatile in sight-reading and transposing voice music whenever necessary - a good pianist -
All the professional vocal coaches I have known have degrees in music as well as being very good at transposing as well as playing the piano!.

The coaches I have know were full time staff members of large musical organizations (opera houses)!. They were in charge of prepearing the singers for a performance!.
As for salaries (at that time (over 40 yrs ago)they were in the 52,000 to 60,000 a year!.

When I was studying voice at the Manhattan School of Music in
NYmy one coach also did private instructions ah his fare was
in the $25 - $35!. @ hr!. Remember this was in the 1950-60/s
You can imagine what the cost and earnings will be today!

Voice coaching is a good career but you must be an
accomplish musician (at least at the piano) and have the ability
to recognize voice ranges for the necessary transposition!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know i suggest you just do to a recording studio it probably pays a little more than a regular job!. First of all I suggest you make sure your a really good singer like as good as possible and you probably need somewhat of experience, so maybe check on google if you need any for the job you might try out for!. ( Overall I'm just doing this to get points so if you'd like to rate me bast answer that would be nice, though I'm supposed to be helping you!. Well if you could till vote me best anyway!. :D thanks!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com
