Singer's Handbook: A Total Vocal Workout in One Hour or Less! (Berklee in the Pocket)

I loved the diagrams and tips this book had on singing. It was amazingly comprehensive and talked about everything from drinking enough water to how to breath and even giving you warm ups and practice sessions to aid in daily practice. Was an amazing pocket sized book that is sure to help any singer along their musical path.

I was hoping for more singing exercises but am happy with it being a basic concepts booklet.

great book

Excellent addition to my repertoire of vocal warm-up and work-out strategies. I'll be purchasing more of these for regular use in my studio.

Great Pocket book for singers. But it could be more conveniently sized.

Good tips. A little bit hard to practice alone, but it's okay.

Let's start with the good stuff -- it's very concise, not overloaded with information that might distract or scare away a new singer. It covers many important areas and the advice seems generally sound. If you have already had lessons for awhile, the advice in this book is advice that your teacher should have already given you, but it's nice to have it all in one place in such an easy-to-use format.However, it needs to be updated and references need to be included. The advice seems good, but it isn't unreasonable to expect that recommendations are evidence-based. The research is out there. Cassette recorders? Even "way back" in 2004, digital recorders were ubiquitous and cheap (not to mention ridiculously convenient); now it's almost impossible to find a cassette recorder. My phone actually makes great recordings -- ones I can email to students during their lesson. Also, lip trills are not useful because they are silly. They are, admittedly, extremely silly; but that's not the main reason they're so useful.Those few issues aside, a person new to singing (or new to lessons), can find useful information here to guide them on their way. Hopefully the author will put in the extra work for the next edition.

The exercises she gave helped to open my voice up and allow resonance. I really liked her clear instructions and since she was from Berklee, You might need to get the actual audios for them to work well though. I would recommend people interested in singing to get a vocal coach first though. This book can help too.

This is not value for money at all given that it costs more than half of Anne Peckham's vocal workout books and accompanying CD's, which are great and much more comprehensive.This is a thin book, which has useful information but should be priced much lower.I recommend buying one of the Anne Peckham Vocal Workouts and/or The Contemporary Singer books which include warm ups on CD and are so brilliantly put together with tracks that are really musical and work through different styles, but more importantly, guide you through doing the exercises correctly. As a singing teacher, I use these books a lot and they really help students to get correct technique but also ensures they are motivated to practice.
