5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, August 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer (Vocal) (Berklee Press) (Paperback)
I've been using this book every morning for the past 6 months and it's done wonders for my range, agility, and accuracy. Working your way up through the exercises is fun and never gets old. Also, the vocal talent in the cd is quite consistent and clear, great for ear training; accompanying staff helps with sight reading too . What I love, is that each exercise targets specific issues, allowing you to focus your energy on one problem at a time... very effective. I would recomend this book to brand new singers as well seasoned vocalists. The lessons are very targeted towards common singing techniques found in pop, rock, blues and jazz; though if you are a classical or operatic singer its probably not your bag.

This review is from: Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer (Vocal) (Berklee Press) (Paperback)
This is a required book, for a required class at my school. I am pleasantly surprised at how good this book is. The exercises are well designed and fun to do. And most importantly, they have helped me improve in my problem areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely fantastic!!!, July 25, 2007
This review is from: Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer (Vocal) (Berklee Press) (Paperback)
This is simply one of the best singing tutorial books that can be found in the market. The CD contains warm-ups, basic and advanced demonstration exercises along with some fantastic back-ground music so that even while doing the warm-ups you feel you are 'singing' and not just doing some boring exercise.

However the CD's trump card is the 'harmony section'. It is a facility you can enjoy if you have a cd player with 'left-right' speaker balance. It enables you to mute one speaker and one voice while the other voice on the other speaker continues to sing. You basically need to then sing in harmony with this voice. The technique is explained in the book at length.

I have been using this product for a month now and am happy with the progress i have been able to make on the quality of my singing. Overall, I feel this is a 'must-have' for every aspiring singer.
