Can You Sing a High 'C' Without Straining? (Box Set)


Priced from: $39.95
List Price: $39.95

Editorial Review

Book Description: Can You Sing a HIGH `C' Without Straining? was the first book ever written that explains why anyone with a healthy voice can develop an extended vocal range. The book shows how to sing high notes in full voice without going into falsetto, and without straining.

For the first time ever in a book about singing, a thorough explanation about what causes a "break" in between the lower and upper registers of the voice is presented. You'll learn why break points occur in your voice and how to eliminate them through vocal exercises.

Jeffrey Black, who starred in the role of Paul McCartney in the hit musical Beatlemania says, "My voice often felt tired and hoarse after a show. But after buying Can You Sing a HIGH `C' Without Straining? I learned how to approach high notes without having to work as hard. I've read the book and listened to the CDs over and over again, and I can't believe the difference it's made. Thomas, this is a milestone you've created."

Sonny Joseph, M/D., P.H.D. says, "Being a medical doctor addicted to music. I was delighted to find that after learning the vocal method presented in Can You Sing a HIGH `C' Without Straining? I was able to safely and effectively extend the range of my voice by 9 notes. Rather than experiencing any hoarseness, my voice has become much stronger and more pleasing."

Having good vocal technique is wonderful, but not enough. With this proven training system you'll learn how to develop your own personal style and how to emulate the stylish tricks used by your favorite singers. You'll also learn why the development of an extended vocal range is the key to eliminating hoarseness and protecting your speaking and singing voice.

Included in this special package are three audio CDs jamm-packed with over two hours of vocal examples and exercises plus 60 minute video training exercises on DVD for male and female singers.

Have you wondered why a young voice changes while going through puberty? Do you know how your speaking voice affects your singing voice? Would you like to know how to develop vibrato in your voice? Would you like to know why your voice flips into falsetto when you try to sing a note that is too high for your natural voice? Would you like to know how to control the tone of your voice? Find the answers to all of these questions as you read the easy-to-understand book, listen to the three audio CDs and watch the videos.

If you are truly interested in finding out all that you can about singing, you will enjoy gathering the many nuggets of wisdom found in this vocal training system about what many consider to be the most beautiful and least understood instrument - the voice.
