Book Reviews of Singing For Dummies
Book Review: GREAT BOOK OVERALL
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS A GREAT BOOK OVERALL. AS AN ACTOR I HAVE FOUND THE TECHNIQUES HELPFUL FOR MY ACTING. THERE'S A LOT OF THEORY THOUGH (AS WITH ALL DUMMIES BOOKS) SO BE PREPARED.

I joined a choir...I love to sing but needed help with voice exercises and breathing. I play the cd while I'm driving & do the vocal workouts then. The book is filled with helpful instructions.Book Review: Very Useful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Singing for Dummies by Pamelia S. Phillips is easy to understand, and has been instrumental in my development as a singer.Book Review: Great for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
If you don't have the courage or money to go to a teacher, this is a great book. The exercises are easy and encouraging. Although I found that some of the exercises hindered more than opened my range, I know that not every exercise will work for every person and so I skip one here and there and move on. I did learn a great deal from this book and I would buy it again. Although I wouldn't take it as Bible, it is a great starting point. I am not an expert so I really can't give a more thorough review BUT I would recommend that you buy a few books to get more points of view and take something from each.
The biggest problem I have is that the 'for dummies' series does not sell or give replacement cd's. If you lose the CD, you must buy the entire book again. This is ridiculous. If you buy a book with a CD, make plenty of copies so that you have a back up or three.
Book Review: GOOD BOOK 4 Stars
Let me just say that this is a great book,packed with great information(all the for dummies book series are good books really),it even has a cd inside with vocal excercises,and i found this book to be very helpful.Now with that being said let me tell you something else,GET SINGING LESSONS.Do Not go and buy this book to subsitute it for singing lessons.It is great to get a singing book but make shure you are taking singing lessons.And if you are already taking singing lessons then talk to you're music teacher and ask you're music teacher if it is ok for you to do the excercise in this book.Because some vocal excercies may damage you're voice,if you're voice is not ready yet or if you are a beginer.
