Steve Davdison, Northeast Performer Mag. May, 1994
If you are like me, you may wish this singing guide was a brilliant surgeon that could miraculously implant a golden throat. Since that is not possible, you might want to pick up this course and follow the instructions carefully, and practice, practice, practice. It is the closest thing to getting cosmetic surgery for your voice.
Dave Frangioni, MIDI Specialist for Aerosmith, Winger, Elton John, April, 1996
This is a total asset to anyone serious about their vocals. They should get involved with trying it out right away- the sooner the better.
Dede Nibler, Sweet Adelines International Instructor, June, 1997
A "non-classical approach" for singers which uses rib cage expansion as the method for breath support, control and vocal freedom. Audio tapes have vocalises which range from simple to very challenging. This is worth buying- an eye opener for me!
MJ Topolewski, Editor's Choice, April, 1999
Anyone can benefit from the skills and techniques acquired by using this Method without compromising their style. I personally am thrilled with my vocal growth and advancement since starting this course.
Charisse Arrington, MCA Recording Artist, May 1995
The best vocal coach in the entire world.
