Jamie Vendera's "Raise Your Voice" 2nd edition my "vocal bible", for vocalists is the most comprehensive book for vocalists I have found. While I have read a number of other books to regain my vocal abilities, Raise Your Voice is the best by far. The others I have read were either very basic, "dry", or otherwise non-productive for my particular needs.
RYV is so comprehensive, I could spend hours going into the details. RYV covers everything a vocalist needs, whether a beginner, intermediate, advanced, or even professional singers who have damaged or "lost" their voices due to improper technique, or otherwise "bad habits".
RYV covers everything from proper breathing techniques, vocal health, increasing octave range, proper warm up, "developing style", a chapter for "Hard Rockers Only", and as I've stated, many topics too numerous to mention in this review.
Jamie has spent countless hours, thousand of dollars, and years of research to share his knowledge and expertise with YOU, the vocalist who desires to become your best !
This book is not only about Jamie, but also includes excerpts and tips from some of the best vocal instructors, rock stars and other professional singers, and he is highly endorsed by them.
RYV is not only for rock singers, but also for singers of pop, metal, blues, etc.
From a personal standpoint, I was in a number of bands as a vocalist and keyboardist at a younger age. Due to a cervical spinal injury, and five spinal surgeries later, I was told by a number of my doctors that I would never sing again. RYV has changed that, and I am proud to announce that with dedication and commitment, I am singing better than ever, and have increased my octave range significantly. I do not know where I would be today without RYV.
From my personal experience with RYV, I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone serious enough about their vocal instrument.
Definitely a FIVE STAR RATING and MORE if it were possible.
Highly recommended to all vocalists.
Thank You, Jamie !!!
