I am thinking of having some voice / singing tuition but not sure how to go about looking for a teacher. I used to sing in the odd session about 20 years ago. I'd say I can hold a tune and I enjoyed singing, but I never liked my voice (still don't!) but other people liked it.

I've got a quiet, higher range voice which I'd like to improve in both speaking and singing, with louder projection and tone etc. The problem is most teachers I've looked up seem to be offering classical or musical theatre style singing and that's all. Now I'm no opera talent and I certainly don't want to sound like an X Factor wannabe. The thing with folk singing is staying true to your own voice and its idiosyncracies and I'm not sure I'd find a teacher who could fully appreciate that. I wondered if anyone else has had lessons and could advise what to look for in a teacher?
