Mrs. Young brings forty-plus years of teaching experience into this book, offering a clear and concise overview of various methods of vocal technique. She includes clear descriptions of each approach and practical ways of applying these techniques.

This is the best book about vocal technique that I have ever read. I recommend it to my own students and to everyone interested in the voice.

Whether you are an amateur who loves to do musical theater in your hometown, or a professional singer on Broadway, this book has something to offer you! It's as easy to understand as it would be to have Ms. Hong-Young teaching you in your living room.

As a singer, sometimes what is taught to you is ethereal and ineffable. Hong-Young effectively lays out the ground work for developing and maintaining an effective, efficient, and exceptional voice. Not only does she explain things in a pedogological manner, she also brings heart and soul into the voice and its power. An all-around great resource for the beginner to the advanced professional.

This is the best book I've seen on teaching you singing techniques. The book addresses typical problem areas that all students encounter with simple approaches on how to solve them. The books' format is easy to follow and the chapters are clear and to the point. Exercises are included which are of great value to any student.

Absolutely complete! The finest instruction on voice in book form. REALLY. Arabella Hong-Young is my teacher and if you'd like to see what this book can do for you check out my work: www.newyorktenor.com and watch the "Younger Than Springtime" Video.
