Amazing
I don't know why I am not giving this book 5 stars-IT IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ ON THE VOICE. This book provides you with a foundation in vocal technique and encourages you to find different colours in your voice. The cd is excellent and very resourceful. It is not a vocal training-sing scales book, it is a resource book showing you elements of style found in the major genres of music. Get it and you will be amazed at the rainbow that lies in your vocal palette.
