Absolutely essential for every singer from amateur to professional.

Honestly, I said I was finished with this just to remove it from my currently reading shelf. I don't think I'll ever stop reading this. Need to keep re-reading it. Focus on a chapter, practice. Go back. Etc. I enjoy it a lot.

This man was brilliant! I had the privilege of singing for him twice in master classes during my school years, and the things he taught me in those few short minutes have helped my singing immensely. Although Oren Brown has now passed on, I'm sure his methods will continue to help singers for years to come.

Oren Brown was one of the best vocal teachers in American history. I was at his last masterclass at USU and he was in his 90's, still going strong. This is an excellent book.

This book is my bible of voice! If you are a singer, or want to become a singer, this book is the best!

Basically, this is a scientifically based singing technique book.

The book presents a physiologically motivated approach to singing technique. The exercises and explanation are unique and compelling compared to many other manuals that do not provide backing motivation for a particular approach. If you are a singer, I strongly recommend you at least attempt the exercises in the CD, even if it does not fit directly with your teacher's technique.
