4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but I recommned Rogers other book..., June 5, 2006

This review is from: Sing Like the Stars (Paperback)

This is the second book authored by Roger Love on vocal technique. This book is marketed for a younger audience and focuses entirely on singing voice while his other book, Set Your Voice Free focuses on speaking and singing. Regarding instructional advice, there is little new information in this book and the vocal exercises (called daily Warm ups in this book) are identical... So if you already own Set Your Voice Free!, you already have the most important element in Roger Love's self-training material, the One-Octave, Octave-and a half step and Octave Jump exercises. These are presented as seperate tracks on Set Your Voice free, but are rolled into one 20 minute track for Sing Like The Stars. They are very powerful excerises that produce results if practiced daily. What's added to Sing Like The Stars! is more focus on vibrato and Falesetto (only briefly mentioned in Set Your Voice Free), lots of tips from celebs (most of them common-knowledge), and many more entertaining stories about Rogers work with stars we all know. Also, Roger Love takes apart three chart topping songs and breaks them down using a notation system he calls Love Notes. What's missing here (compared to Set Your Voice Free) is most of the self-analysis: the nasel sound, the gravel voice, the brassy voice, etc... Set Your Voice gives you a lot of tools to help target problems, sing like the stars doesn't put much focuse there. Roge Love's techniques are pretty amazing, so I understand why he would want to come out with something a bit more youth focused. Even many adults may find Sing Like The Stars! to be more for them.... but I would recommned Set Your Voice Free because of the added information about speaking voice and Roger makes a good case for how the two are related.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent vocal exercises, excellent book, June 18, 2004

This review is from: Sing Like the Stars (Paperback)

This book is a must-have if you sing or want to learn how to sing. I practice with the vocal exercise cd every day in my car. The cd is included in the back of the book. Using Roger Love's "female vocal exercise" on track 22 has made me a great singer with a great range. I can hit notes now that I could never have hit without doing these exercises.

The warm-ups (there are both female and male exercises) are easy to do and you get great results if you practice with them. I buy this book for my friends who are interested in learning to sing better.

This book is such a low price for what you are getting when you buy it. Not only do you get an easy to read book which shows you how to sing and perform but you also get a cd with vocal exercises that will turn you into a great singer. The cd is like having a voice lesson whenever you want it, without paying over and over again. The value is incredible.

This book is excellent and came with a CD to practice with. It has addressed all the problems that I have with lots of good exercises to make or assist you in changing your voice. Contains help with breathing, vibrato, explains and demonstrations for chest, middle and head voice and more. The CD also contains a warm-up. It has exercises for both male and female voices.
