Finding Your Voice is a wonderful book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding Your Voice: A Practical and Spiritual Approach to Singing and Living (Paperback)
Carolyn Sloan was my voice teacher for over 6 years. I am away in college now, but having a copy of Finding Your Voice with me at school keeps everything I learned from Ms. Sloan fresh in my mind. Learning from her was really an incredible experience. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as I was, to be able to study with her privately. However, Finding Your Voice gives people everywhere a chance to benefit from Ms. Sloan's teachings. I recommend this book highly, for anyone curious about a new, more spiritual and natural approach to singing. You will be amazed and delighted by what she has to say, I promise!

A Phenomenal Spiritual Approach--a Necessity for Vocalists,
By Melanie (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finding Your Voice: A Practical and Spiritual Approach to Singing and Living (Paperback)
I highly recommend this phenomenal book. I have been singing for years, and this book has been a true blessing, combining spirituality with using your body as a cherished instrument. It is about a wholistic approach to singing, which is essential for anyone wishing to be a truly outstanding vocalist. After reading this book, you will have a greater awareness of each note and each subsequent vibration in the body, *feeling* instead of just singing the song, and how to approach your instrument without constant judgements, but with love and acceptance and a sense of discovery. I have read many books about singing and music, and this is the most important book to read to be a truly phenomenal vocalist.
