Book Reviews of Can You Sing High C Without Straining? 4th Edition

Book Review: Best book on singing ever written
Summary: 5 Stars

Thomas Appell's approach to singing and vocal development is amazing, and I can tell you from pesonal experience that it works. He takes the mystery out of all aspects of singing including: extending your range higher than you thought possible, finding the right tone and character for all styles of music. What's most important is that his book gives you easy-to-follow techniques that take you step-by-step to the next level. If you're a beginner, the techniques in this book help you progress quickly, and, within a few weeks, you're surprised at how good you sound. If you're more advanced or a professional, you'll find this method can take you from good to brilliant. I've taken lessons from Thomas Appell, and, in addition to my personal progess, I've seen a number of students become extraordinary singers. If you're fortunate enough to live in Southern California, in addition to reading his book, I'd recommend you take lessons from him. You won't be disappointed. And, if you don't live in the area, it's worth a trip to California. A number of singers from all over the world have read his book, and had so much success, they've traveld to California to train with him.

Summary of Can You Sing High C Without Straining? 4th Edition

The first edition (copyright 1993) of Thomas' book Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? is the earliest published book about singing containing a detailed explanation of how the vocal cords achieve high and low pitches. This is also the first book to show from a physiological standpoint why anyone with a healthy voice can extend the range of their voice. The book explains how chest voice, head voice, (resonance below and above the vocal cords) falsetto, and full voice (terms describing vocal intensity) relate and are affected by the action of the vocal cords. The book explains how to produce vibrato, breathe for singing, develop style and control the tone of your voice.

The 2007 4th edition of this book contains a significantly revised chapter on how to extend the range of your full voice and many other updates based on 15 more years of Thomas' experience training singers since publishing the first edition. Vocal coaches and singers worldwide now use Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? as the reference standard for learning how to sing high notes without going into falsetto and without straining. There has never before been a book that explains so clearly how to extend the range of your voice. Most singers increase their range by several notes after the first week of practice.

Included with the 4th edition of the book are three audio CDs and 60-minute training videos on DVD for male and female singers jamm-packed with vocal examples and exercises. A second DVD (Never Get Another Cold Illustrated Book on DVD/236 pages plus video testimonials) explains how singers can avoid catching colds and the flu. A third DVD (Johnnie Truth and the Stolen Statue/90 pages) contains the inspirational true story of how Thomas Appell discovered the secret to singing high notes.
