There’s a guy I worked with who majored in Vocal Performance somewhere in Canada and now does voice-overs with me here in Seoul, Korea. He charges other voice actors $30-50/hour for private voice lessons, yet he has terrible pitch and his ear is so bad he can’t even create a harmony. I’ve been doing singing jobs with him for years, and he’s always been bad. Unfortunately, there are so few male singers here that the clients are forced to use him. But these people who take lessons from him trust him and PAY him to teach them how to sing! I don’t think he realizes how terrible he actually is, so it’s not a question of limited integrity. He honestly thinks his services are worth money, and these poor people don’t know any better.

Watch out for people like this!

PS - If there are any male singers out there who need to make a lot of money in a short amount of time, we really need you guys over here! NONE of the men here can sing, and people are getting desperate! It’s $60/hour, 6 days a week. :)
