Singing for Dummies 23 July 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a very good book for singers of all abilities, I wanted to strengthen my voice and extend my range and the exercises on the CD are extremely good. They increase in difficulty the better you become. You don't need to read the whole book, it is very easy to find the chapters and sections which apply to you.

I bought this book because I wanted to improve my singing for music exams. It's brilliant, and has helped me a lot with my technique, I've improved alot without any formal tutoring.

As a seasoned singer, I try to read as many books on the subject
as possible.

This is a good book for beginners, but aviod the chapter
on 'Belting', Belting is a really bad idea for new singers,
it takes years to get it right and you can really hurt yourself
if you don't.

BTW the CD with this book is quiet a good practice.

I felt that Gloria Bennett's book 'Breaking Through' was, on the
whole much better for basic technique.
