This book and double CD is extremely comprehensive. It kicks off with an introduction stating that the work/practice to be undertaken will involve a complete overhaul (at least psychological if not physical) of previously ingrained ideas of classical singing, such as soprano, tenor, bass, and that in most matters vocal, as with other instruments, the sky is the limit, based on the assumption that the student undertakes patient steady work.

The author's aim is to prepare the singer to sing almost anything the hardest metal singers have achieved (at either end of the register - hence the rejection of singer definitions), as well as attaining the magical qualities of the likes of Freddie Mercury.

The book and CDs are divided up well into sections of increasing difficulty, and can be studied either with CD alone, for those who do not possess Score reading skills, or with book (where every exercise is written out for men and women). It took me six months to master the first fifth of this book, but then my progress really started to accelerate.

Furthermore, there is a comprehensive and highly useful glossary and appendix for advanced singing techniques, both from a melodic and technical perspective.

The author's advice to preparing the voice, indeed at times the whole body, for a difficult singing passage, have been faultless. Never once have I felt pain or been incapacitated to sing or talk the next day. In an animated but professional manner, he advises caution and patience on the CD as he turns your voice into one of a professional.

A good friend (a more mature and professional musician than myself) had recommended this author to me and I am endebted as this is a value for money purchase you rarely acquire, especially in the self study guide genre. Nevertheless you must be motivated.

I'm not one to give reviews but I'll make an exception for this one. I have studied many books on vocal lessons and pedagogy, most every one sold on Amazon, but Roger Kain's book is horrendous. The advice given would damage the vocal cords of any who submitted to routine practice. Even the accompanying CD is unprofessionally recorded and distorted with strident vocal demonstrations that make you cringe. He claims to be the UK's leading instructor? No wonder there is so rare a good voice that comes out of England. If you want the most effective way to improve your voice, trust Roger Love. If you want to know everything about the singing voice, read Richard Miller. This book went right back for a refund.

Satisfied with results 3 April 2006
By A Customer
Before I started this program I had used a couple of studied guides that were either too basic, condescending or just didnt really help with the serious problems I was facing. My main problems were pitch, range and vibrato and I am happy to say that this book, and particularly the CD, helped enormously.
