It doesn't necessarily do so. However, what do most voice teachers tend to teach as the first thing to someone who already knows a fair amount about music? From reading this list it seems to be "support". But I had already been a professional wind player for 7 years. So rather than things like relaxation and the proper approach to moving through the zona di passaggio, she taught me bass literature, which I would sing with a great deal of weight, but it was always uncomfortable to me. When I mentioned it to her, she dismissed it as my imagination. If I wanted to study voice at all, she was the only teacher available to me at that time and place. Eventually I stopped singing for more than 25 years.
