Product Description

Product Description

To perform well in today's highly competitive world where technical skills have been advanced to an unprecedented degree, a singer must be able to handle incredible pressure within the performing arena; his or her ability to deal with this stress will often determine whether he or she will succeed. Why, then, do singers with less technical skill sometimes out-perform stars? Why do some stars suddenly stop performing? What is that mysterious factor that makes an electric performance? Consistent, competent performances do not depend solely upon superior vocal skills, nor are they a matter of luck. On the contrary, the best performances result from a combination of mental attitude, concrete performing skills, and excellent technical skills in that order. Yet most singers have never had the opportunity to acquire the essential skills that make for a successful career. Written as a self-help manual for singers at all levels of expertise, Power Performance for Singers is designed to teach performing artists, and especially singers, how to experience elite performance at their level. The skills outlined in this book will help singers use what they have, to enjoy their voices during performance, and to perform consistently to the best of their present ability.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really delivers the title!, 28 Dec 2002
By Elizabeth Watts (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is a fabulous book for anyone who is or is studying to be a professional classical singer. It is crammed with tips, suggestions and excercises to help you unlock your potential without ever being pretentious or patronising. As a postgraduate student at music college, I found it covers the areas my classes don't, namely, how to discover what areas of mental skill you need to most improve on and how to improve in a practical way. An inspiring read and sincerely recommended.
