Whether you're an aspiring singer, weekend karaoke buff, or seasoned professional, you'll always benefit greatly from reading any book from renowned vocal expert Dena Murray. Ms. Murray has a way of walking you through all of the most important elements of singing in a no-nonsense, straighforward way. You will be provided with the tools you need to bring your singing to the next level without a lot of confusing terms and skipped subjects. No fluff and self-promoting ads in this one folks. This is cut-to-the-chase, this-is-what-to-do instruction.As you read through the book, it becomes very clear how this author wants you to really succeed and avoid the pitfalls such as over-breathing, pushing & straining for high notes, squeezing for power, and holding your breath.Included with the book is a CD with plenty of vocal exercises with seperate tracks for males and females (a nice feature not included on most CD's)and a demo track to hear exactly what the exercise should sound like.For a fraction of the price of some on-line courses nearing $200, I obtained a wealth of knowledge, solid advice, and a nice set of test-driven vocal exercises.Highly recommended.

This book is teaching me such easy and helpful lessons on breathing correctly for singing. Its not just about little tips and tricks... Its about the proper technique that makes my singing FUN and COMFORTABLE, as well as EFFECTIVE again!

Anyone looking for a great way to improve the breath mechanism, this new book by Dena Murray will be the fix! The exercises and instructions will get you on track quickly and if you have bad breathing habits like I did, she provides many explanations on how to correct them. I use to push a lot of air through my cords, its impossible to sing that way! And before you can really control the voice and start bridging registers, the breath needs to work efficiently. There are also sections on resonance, the vocal cords, and how they all work together. Anyone who feels like their sound is trapped in their throat; this is definitely a book that can help! I wish I had it 10 year ago! I highly recommend it for all levels!

Self study for vocals or any instrument can be difficult and frustrating - not having a teacher present. This book by Dena Murray is very practical and easy to follow. I got immediate results from the start although it definitely takes dedication and practice. The examples are well written and scientific as well as practical. I have tried many of these self study programs and i can tell you for sure this is at the top of my list.Buy it if you want to improve your vocal range,projection, resonance and strength, and have more confidence which is mandatory to enjoy singing.

I love how this books walks you through everything. If you have any doubts, just keep on reading and more then likely you'll find your answer.Dena is a great instructor and her writing is very easy to understand. Do yourself a favor, if you're serious about learning how to sing correctly, get this book. Read it! Practice it!

Just what i wanted

Bought her other book Vocal technique and that was great. This book wasn't very thorough and seemed very stream line. Only decent thing was the scales.

This is an excellent book. I use this book for continued development of my own voice as well as helping my students improve. It is a constant resource of knowledge written in brilliantly simple straight froward language. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has some level of singing technique and is looking for ways to reach professional standards with consistency. Since reading and working through this and Dena Murray's other book I have made huge advances as a vocalist and now feel like my voice is free from restrictive bad habits. It is the best thing I ever did as a singer to work through these books.

Very clear and practical instructions,Simple words and diagrams make you understand the technique very well. There are some easy to do practices for you in the book too.I would recommend!
