Be sure that you really click with the teacher you choose. The greatest teacher in the world isn't going to do you much good if they are insulting or intimidating.
My first voice teacher in college was supposedly the best in the department, but he focused on everything I was doing wrong and never acknowledged how far I had actually come. He was also trying to turn me into something that I was not (i.e., an operatic tenor, even though my natural instrument was clearly suited to Broadway). I was ready to quit singing altogether, but I decided to switch teachers instead. I ended up with a relatively inexperienced teacher who understood my voice, knew what songs worked for me, and she became my greatest cheerleader. The positive reinforcement really made me blossom, and I think she's the reason I was later able to land my first job on Broadway.
