Book Review: If I can do it, so can you, and it's so incredibly cool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 45 and recently decided to pick up my guitar again and start performing solo after a 15 year break. I never was much of a singer - always strained my voice on the few songs I'd sing with the band - but now, going solo, I really needed to start over and learn good vocal technique.
I'm glad I'm not a quitter, because after 4 months of frustrating voice classes, I quit and looked for another perspective. I found Roger Love's book at my city library with the CD for hearing examples of what he's talking about in the book.
Roger explains the concept of your "middle" voice with regard to how it manifests itself physically - something no-one in all of my years of helpful hints or even voice classes ever mentioned. Roger gave me a tangible idea I could focus upon.
I had heard once that most popular music was sang in your "falsetto" or "head voice", but could never understand how people were able to get the full vocal sounds they got doing that. Roger gave me valuable insight into this ability with both words and audio tracks and corrected misconceptions I had from listening to, well, everyone else.
Roger gave wonderful helpful advice and stories of other students who'd had the same difficulty I was having, saying "don't give up, your middle voice is in there somewhere". After two weeks of not giving up, I just found my middle voice. It's so incredibly liberating. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think I'll be able to do those songs I wanted to do but couldn't because they were out of my range.
I wish I could write Roger and thank him personally for getting me past this hurdle. If you want to sing well and are having conceptual difficulties like I was, you simply must read this book. Maybe your friends or your voice coach will cover this material without it, but mine sure didn't, and it made all the difference.
