Yes - my first (and wonderful) voice teacher was a man (tenor), and I'm a
soprano. My
current voice teacher is a woman (and a soprano), and both have been excellent
teachers
for me. Their teaching styles and personalities are very different, though
their basic
approach to teaching singing is the same (probably because they both studied
with several
of the same teachers along the way).
If my current teacher were not able to teach me for some reason, of the other
teachers I
know, the one I'd want to study with is a man (baritone).
I think any voice type can teach any voice type - however I also think it's
good for a
singer to study with a (good) teacher of the same voice type at least once
along the way,
because of the intimate knowledge of repertoire and first-hand knowledge of the
challenges
in the repertoire that the teacher can provide.
