Summary: a thought about Mario Marafioti
Comment: Hello there!!!!
I just want to share my thoughts about Mario Marafioti and let me star telling you something about me: I had experience what it's called classical training: thought about breathing, diaphragm, support the tone, breath low, voice placement, keep larynx low and so on. None of them really works for me, it was painful and besides that expensive, because each teacher charge at least $60/hr, so listen to my lessons tape, I rely on what's going on, my sound was not me, too much hard work, too much support, too dark "covering" and so on...., so what I did. First at all, pay attention to my normal speaking voice and carefully understand that I could speak really hight as well as low even so my voice at those was very weak, but the notes were there, so what I need to do!!! (see seventh principle/Mario Marafioti).
If you are open to new ideas, I sincerely recomend this book, you should study it very carefully and probably you will get the idea " Singing should be......"
because the bottom line is: We are not musical instruments, we are singers, who convey feelings and emotions trought the correct use of the speaking voice and the clearly/easy it's production the better it will.

Summary: Superb
Comment: This is indeed the most superb book on correct singing technique. I, myself, studied for many years under teachers who taught me vowel modification and other such nonsense. I was told by many teachers that, although beautiful, my voice was too small to fill an opera house. They suggested I find other venues for singing. Then, I began studying with a teacher who was a master at the technique outlined in this book. I have never, in my life, heard anyone whose voice came close to the clarity, resonance, and overall production of this man. In time, with the careful study of Marafioti's book and excellent instruction of my teacher, my voice too gained a resonance that fills a very large house (without a microphone). Any serious vocal student should view this book as the bible of proper vocal technique. There are many teachers out there, each with their own technique. Let me assure you, if it does follow what is outlined in this book...Run!

Summary: Greatest Book on Singing EVER
Comment: A story first: My voice teacher, when he was young, left the US to study with some of the great singers of the century. He ended up studying with such legends as Ferruccio Tagliavini, Gina Cigna and Gino Bechi, who was his primary teacher for 3 years. Being the student of such wonderfully incredible singers normally would have guaranteed him a fantastic voice. However, things did not fall into place for him until he read Marafioti's masterful book. After that he was able to turn a damaged voice (from trying to imitate his teachers, which NEVER works) into a gorgeous, clarion dramatic tenor with not only a high E flat but a B flat he could dimuendo down to a pianissimo and then swell it back up to an ear busting forte. All from reading this book. And it's no surprise why. What Marafioti discusses, with complete support and input from Caruso himself as citations from his many letters proves, is the simplest, easiest and most sensible vocal method out there. Moreover, it makes perfect sense to even a non-singer. Don't force. Measure the breath with the diaphragm, this being the support that so many singers today couldn't even begin to define. OPEN YOUR MOUTH. WHY is that not taught across the board?? I would challenge any reviewer who wants to attack this superb and hugely important work to actually say what they find wrong with the technique set forth by the author, rather than just some ad hominem nonsense that doesn't help anyone. Also, they should be a classical singer, which the one negative reviewer is not. There is no reason why there can't be some fundamental rules for teaching voice, despite the ridiculous claims that no one technique is better than the other. PLEASE read this book if you are interesting in the study of voice, as it may well be the only work on subject you'll ever need. Read it BEFORE finding a voice teacher, so you can better know what to look for in a teacher and how to select one. As Marafioti points out, there are many, many charlatans out there, ruining classical singing. With the knowledge gained from this book, you should be able to avoid them and find one who truly can help you develop your voice to its fullest potential.
