Not quite a guide,

This review is from: Caruso and the Art of Singing (Paperback)
I bought this book and I expected to learn singing from Caruso, but I was surprised to find out that more than half the book is actually a biography about his life. The book's aim isn't to teach singing, but to tell about Caruso's life, his career, and finally about how he practiced singing. No solid advice or technique is offered.

About the book,
By
This review is from: Caruso and the Art of Singing (Paperback)
It is one of the best collection I have ever owned. Provides an indepth explanation about Caruso's vocal tenchnique and how he practices them. Exercise scales are even provided to guide you to the singer you wished to be. I have started the scales for practice and believe me when I say this - it's not easy - especially for starters. Overall, the book's great. The content is great - and no doubt about it, it was written by one of the many great authors/singers around.

good to know,
By Floria (Dresden, Sachsen Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Caruso and the Art of Singing (Paperback)
I thought the book is great - for everybody who wonders how to learn how Caruso succeeded in getting is throat so relaxed and his voice so perfectly soft - here is the book to at least catch a glimpse. Don't expect to "learn" singing from this book - but be happy to at least get an idea why most of the singers today sing so much worse than the singers in Carusos age (not to say Caruso himself). Fucito has actually helped Caruso studying - so he knows what Caruso actually did - forget the book from Marafioti...
