This audiobook reveals how the greatest singers in the world practice and develop their voices.

In Powerhouse Singing Techniques, vocal coach James Cohen reveals it all: how to develop one's voice to its full potential. After teaching thousands of students, Cohen has discovered what really works, and he explains it all in simple terms anyone can understand and follow. The methods and techniques in this book will work for anyone, using any method or voice teacher. Consider giving this book to your voice teacher as a gift! That being said, this is not a program for beginners.

Among the many powerful techniques, you will learn:

The secret to a *perfect* tone (i.e. beautiful sound)

Why warm-ups are crucial to voice development (and how to do them)

The only method to developing high notes you'll ever need!

The $795 voice maintenance tool (yours, for free)

The best supplements for your voice

The one psychological trick that will boost your voice forever

The only breathing method you'll ever need

The one thing you must do in every voice lesson (if you want to reap the benefits from the lesson)

The one thing you must do after every voice lesson (otherwise you just wasted your time and money)

The one mistake almost every voice teacher makes, and how to avoid it

Why online voice courses rarely work (and how you can fix that)

And more!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ready to reorganize your life around singing? No? Maybe try something else

Singing is easy if you ... have a lot of time for warm ups and exercises; own a piano in a space where you can practice; are ready to build a workout regimen to strengthen your back, chest, and core; are willing to relearn how to breathe; drink a protein shake after vocal workouts; learn transcendental meditation; and don't forget to maybe learn some songs along the way!

This book doesn't lead you through any vocal techniques at all. It describes them and leaves you to work them out while sitting at a piano. Though to be fair I was able to figure them out fine with a guitar.

The amount of investment the author expects from the reader/listener is a little... unrealistic. If you're like me and already sing, but you're looking for a book to lead you through more advanced vocal exercises, maybe skip this one.

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!

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.
