How do you go about finding a good teacher that will teach you to sing safely with proper technique? I've had a singing teacher in the past that caused vocal issues and didn't have the faintest idea on why the way I was practicing was causing issues, except for "my other students don't have issues".
That's a good point. I really just lucked out in immediately finding a good teacher. It's probably worth doing some research and watching some videos from vocal instructors online to get the general idea of what good and bad advice sounds like.
