Review: Great exercises for speaking and singing - Some of these exercises were part of the regime I followed when I first learned to sing for the stage in 2017. I am also grateful for my yoga practice, which, however irregularly I do it, never fails me where anything that relies on breathing is concerned Review: advertizing brochure not a useful guide - An poorly written book that lacks information and ideas about what has to be done. I don't recommend it for anyone who is looking for ideas ao what drills ect to do. It reads like an advertizing brochure for the author.

An poorly written book that lacks information and ideas about what has to be done. I don't recommend it for anyone who is looking for ideas ao what drills ect to do. It reads like an advertizing brochure for the author.

Great practical book.
Had it for years and use the exercises all the time. Sure, there isn't a chock full of exercise but he gives you what counts to include the hows and why's. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in vocal production or just wanting to improve their expression.

One of the best books I've ever read on the subject
A must read, must-have guide for any actor. I discovered it at my local library about 15 years ago - had photocopied some pages from it (for the exercises) and it's been a staple of my training ever since. Thought it was finally time for me to invest in a proper copy of my own and I recommend it to anyone who fancies themselves a serious actor or singer... A guide to proper voice technique, but especially to vocal HONESTY
