About the Book

Ah, there's just nothing better than singing in the shower. The acoustics are perfect and you don't sound half bad, if you do say so yourself. In fact, with a little practice you could be the next "American Idol" platinum-selling recording artist, or stage sensation. It's time for Pavarotti to step down and for you to step up as monarch of songdom. Whether you're a beginning vocalist or a seasoned songster, "Singing for Dummies" makes it easy for you to achieve your songbird dreams. "Singing for Dummies" gives you step-by-step instructions and lots of helpful tips, hints, vocal exercises, reminders, and warnings for both men and women, including advice on: the mechanics of singing; discovering your singing voice; developing technique; singing in performance; maintaining vocal health; and, performing like a pro. "Singing for Dummies" is written by Dr. Pamelia Phillips, Chair of Voice and Music at New York University's Undergraduate Drama Department. Dr. Phillips shares all of her professional expertise to help you sing your way to the top. She gives you all the information you need to know about: proper posture and breathing; perfecting your articulation; finding the right voice teacher for you; how to train for singing; selecting your music materials; acting the song; overcoming stage fright; and, auditioning for musical theater. In addition to Dr. Phillips' wisdom, "Singing for Dummies" comes with a CD packed full of useful instruction and songs, including: demonstrations of proper technique; exercises to develop technique and strength; scales and pitch drills; and, practice songs for beginning, intermediate, and advanced singers. "Singing for Dummies" contains all the information, practices, techniques, and expert advice you need to hone your vocal skills with ease.
