Book Reviews of The Rock-N-Roll Singer's Survival Manual (Book)
Book Review: Good manual, you can skip the anatomy lesson if you're anxious to get started
Summary: 4 Stars
Read the first half when you get around to it, but flip toward the back to start doing exercises immediately. You don't need to take his health opinion as fact, or change your lifestyle because he says so. Stick with the tried and true exercises toward the back.
I've been singing and playing guitar for years, and I can hear and feel noticeable improvement by doing the exercises in this book. The breathing exercises have helped steady my tone and hold pitch, while the range exercises have noticeably increased my range by a whole note within a month. In the meantime all notes below my top have become stronger, and I can hold them much better at very loud and very soft volume. Also the break between my mixed voice and falsetto is disappearing.
This book doesn't perform miracles, you definitely need to spend 1/2 a day 5-6 days a week with a piano or keyboard working on your voice. I would not recommend this unless you have basic music theory down. Range exercises are based off major scales. If you use this book as a guide while practicing other songs, you WILL get better.
