Helping goons with math
I basically can't sing at all. I don't mean "my singing sounds terrible and is totally off pitch, etc." (although I imagine that's true), I mean that nine times out of ten, when I try to sing, it hurts my throat and I stop very quickly. And I don't know enough about what I'm doing to know what's different when it doesn't hurt.

If it hurts you're doing damage. If you keep doing it, it can take a long time to heal or even cause permanent damage. That's not something you want.
With this in mind, I figure I need a vocal coach to tell me "this is what you're doing wrong, basic singing is done like this." Am I right about this? (Or are vocal coaches only for more advanced training and there is some video I should watch to get past this initial hurdle?) If so, what is a recommended way to find a good teacher for beginners?
