Book Reviews of Vocal Technique - A Guide to Finding Your Real Voice: Book with Two CDs (Essential Concepts)
Book Review: DON'T BUY!! I wish to return my copy
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is user friendly in the sense that it uses everyday language and no difficult terminologies. However, it tries to oversimplified certain aspects of singing such as building your chest voice and your body. There are only 4 scales to practise (plus some little extension to the scales) and you are supposed to improve your singing by just practising those four scales??? In addition, I hurt by my voice by doing the 4th scale which you are supposed to sing by bringing your chest voice as high as possible. As a result, I am suffering from severe sore throat. It's description of what the mouth should be like when singing vowels are not as clear as other books. Unlike other books it gave no advice on auditions, etc. It talks of making your chest voice stronger but did not mention making your head voice stronger. The CD voice is also horrible!! It make me question how good this teacher is if her voice is horrible. I would recommend Jeffrey Allen's "Secrets of Singing" (which is very useful and explain every thing!!). Other books I heard which are quite good are "Contemporary Singer" by Anne Peckham, "Contemporary Vocalist" by Jeannie Deva, and a book by Oren L. Brown. This book may be good for beginners (just maybe, though I am not sure) but for those who are serious about singing, don't buy this book. Anyone who wants my copy can buy from me. I wish I had return this book....
