When searching for a voice teacher, it's not a bad idea to schedule a lesson with several different teachers so that you can get a feel for their teaching styles and how they will connect with you.  Ask him/her to assess your voice and pinpoint exactly what you need to work on in order to make quick progress.  Make sure s/he understands your musical preferences and goals, and don't be afraid to ask him/her to sing something for you. If your voice teacher can't come close to the style you are wanting to sing, s/he may not be able to get you there either. With the techniques I will teach you, if you put the time into practicing, you will see noticeable results very quickly and won't be in a position of taking voice lessons for years and years with little improvement.
