Secrets of Singing: Male (Low & High Voice) Book & 2 CDs

Structured and thorough without being tedious. The combination of written explanation and recorded model gives singers multiple ways to understand what they're aiming for, so it stays engaging across the full 392 pages.

Male singers of any age who want to build a genuine vocal technique rather than rely on instinct alone. Whether you're teaching a solo voice student, coaching singers in a musical theater ensemble, or working with a men's chorus that needs foundational vocal training, this method gives singers concrete tools and verifiable progress markers.

• Work through the book sequentially rather than jumping around. Each principle builds on the previous one, so skipping sections will create gaps in understanding.
• Have singers listen to the corresponding CD track before attempting the exercise themselves. Hearing the target sound first trains the ear and prevents bad habits from forming.
• Record your singers performing the exercises weekly and compare them to the CD examples. This self-assessment accelerates progress and keeps singers accountable.
• Spend extra time on the open throat exercises if your ensemble tends toward tension and constriction. This single issue affects diction, range access, and tone quality.

Assign this as primary text for private voice lessons or small-group coaching, where you can customize the pace to each student's needs. It also works well as supplementary material for ensemble singers who need extra support with basic technique between rehearsals.

• Foundational vocal technique and breath support
• Accessing and controlling the upper register
• Developing an open throat for full sound production
• Professional-level diction and phrasing
• Self-assessment and ear training through recorded comparisons
