You're a grown-up, you've had great vocal training and you have a solid vocal technique, so, why do you need lessons? For the same reason athletes have trainers and dancers continue to take class. It's easier and more efficient to stay in shape when you have someone holding you accountable. With the very busy lives we all lead, it's too easy to push our creative goals to the back burner, no matter how much our emotional survival may need them. It's much harder to do that when you have to carve out time and money AND stand in front of someone to be answerable for how you have or have not honored your goals.
It's also helpful to have another pair of ears. Voices are inextricably interwoven with who we are. It's almost impossible not to be blind to what needs help and/or be overly judgmental and harsh with ourselves. A voice teacher can help keep things in perspective, gently helping you to appreciate your gifts or giving you a kick in the butt when you need it.
Most importantly, singing is about communication. We spend so much time texting, tweeting, Facebooking and emailing, but, singing goes deeper. It speaks to the soul. It is a much richer experience when you open up your heart to sing to have someone standing beside you as witness, cheering you on and saying, "Yes, I hear you."
