Summary: Heed Mr. Reid's Advice!
Comment: This book and the other two books in Cornelius Reid's trilogy on Bel Canto technique (The Free Voice, Psyche and Soma) are the best contemporary books on vocal technique I have found. Mr. Reid thoroughly understands the function of vocal registers- the only correct way to gain complete control over the voice- which is often ignored by many voice teachers today, especially for male students. His writings are based on the teachings of great voice teachers of the past. If you are looking for a voice teacher, read this book first. If the teacher does not agree with the concepts in this book and actively apply them, he/she probably cannot help you reach your full potential unless you have a perfectly balanced voice by nature. I do not just highly recommend these books, they have made the difference for me between near hopelessness and hope for a career as a singer.

Summary: Vocal freedom
Comment: This is the only book I have come across (or teacher for that matter) that understands how to build a voice from scratch properly.

The most important issue addressed is that of the registers. Reid gives historical evidence, his own teaching experience and common sense to support his view. He also gives the essential exercises that are so sorely needed. Understanding and applying these principles aids ease of execution, range, power, voice movement (not wobbling or bleating!)and beauty of tone.

My voice is improving in every respect all the time.
