Good

I got this via audiobook boom. It is a good listen to help people who want to sing better and for those of us who think we can sing and need help understanding that we will never be stars and will always be backup or shower singers. But it is okay to be those. Everyone can't be the lead. The body has only one head and then two or more of everything else so us backups are pretty important as well. That being said this was a good listen.

wow one of the best beginner vocal instructors

Perfect start for the beginner! So happy to have found this book! Great for understanding the basics, how the physics work, and practice techniques.

narrator is also the writer

highly enjoyable. you can tell the writer has been teaching for years. quick and to the point.
