Powerful Techniques

This is not for the beginner. It does not provide scales to practice with, but it does provide 19 (I think) amazing techniques, most of which I have never heard about before, and I've read a lot of the most common books on singing technique. A few that stand out; practicing a challenging song after a vocal workout, "belly" register, (makes a lot of sense) and many others. Highly recommended if you have already taken voice lessons, otherwise, I suspect, you might not understand the nuances of the techniques. Thank you James for this wonderful book. I've also tried his other audio program, which is a hypnosis or guided meditation of sorts; extremely powerful and effective.

Powerful Techniques

This is really a fantastic program, and really cheap! I've pain hundreds of dollars for the expensive online singing courses, but this one has better information and a stronger approach than anything else I've encountered. It covers all the main aspects of beautiful singing; high notes, tone, volume, stamina, and more. The author is a well known voice teacher here in California, and I highly recommend this audio program.

Good refresher

I haven’t sung professionally for quite sometime now. This book is a great refresher on how to manage your voice, before and after a show. Especially if you are serious about singing again.

The Best Beginner Singing Audiobook I’ve Found

This is the best beginner singing audiobook I’ve found so far on Audible. I’ve downloaded several and this has given me the most actionable info. I wish the book included actual scales for follow along to, but the author explains which scales to follow (and anyone with a basic understanding of the piano can record their own—as I did).
This book is well-written and helpful.
The narrator is pleasant to listen to.

Very Informative and To the Point

I would recommend this book for experienced singers as a lot of the book uses references to exercises and other books.

Great information

The part about water had me saying hmmm. I don’t drink as much as I should but hearing it’s beneficial attributes to my voice motivated me to drink up.

Powerhouse Singing Better if...

You have the actual book in front of you.

I am familiar with his technique as I already knew everything he mentioned, but when you’ve bought the book on Audible you miss out on direct examples. I would have preferred to hear demonstrations of what he’s talking about. As a Singer, we ALWAYS want to hear exercises demonstrated. I, myself, need illustrations as well as demonstrations. With tongue twisters when they are demonstrated too fast, I need to see it written. That’s where it fails reading a practical book by ear.

Herramienta para aquel que quiera cuidar su voz.

Me encanta, buen precio y buena narrativa. Se recomienda para principiantes. Es un buen complemento para tus clases.

Great summary but cannot find the referenced links

Great condense information but cannot find the referred website links to the actual vocal training teachers. Can someone post the working links here? Thank you!

No actual drills . just instructions ,talk, talk.talk.
Contents :Good and can be useful if you can find someone to show you how to do the drills.
