Best book for serious future singers !

You’ll find all answers specifically if your whole life you been confused about singing enjoy!

A very practical book

I rarely read a book twice but this book was designed to do just that. At least it does it enjoyably

The Demonslayer who killed the Imposter in me and freed me from my prison to express my true voice.

First I found a YouTube video of someone I never heard of before giving an interview to someone else I never heard of before because I lived under a rock for nearly 4 decades, but I wanted to get this voice I always heard in my heart yet couldn’t properly produce. And then I got the audiobook and had the courage to reach out to the author, and outside of salvation and having my children, this was the best decision I have ever made. Nancy loves and believes in what she does, so this allows her to help produce the same success in others. I am so happy Nancy was on my life path, and I hope all who have found success with her work can also experience time with her to work on your sound.

Great for anyone who enjoys singing!

Good

I got this via audiobook boom. It is a good listen to help people who want to sing better and for those of us who think we can sing and need help understanding that we will never be stars and will always be backup or shower singers. But it is okay to be those. Everyone can't be the lead. The body has only one head and then two or more of everything else so us backups are pretty important as well. That being said this was a good listen.

wow one of the best beginner vocal instructors

Perfect start for the beginner! So happy to have found this book! Great for understanding the basics, how the physics work, and practice techniques.
