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.
