3.0 out of 5 stars A Well-Written Overview, November 1, 2005

As a private voice teacher I read everything I can find on vocal study, techniques and approaches. Singing Professionally, is a solid well-written overview that I would recommend to anyone starting or thinking about starting vocal training. While this book is clear and well organized, it can best be used as a broad summary to help make prospective students aware of the many aspects involved in voice study.
