Book Reviews of Pro Secrets of Heavy Rock Singing
Book Review: "Jaime Vendera, Author of Raise Your Voice"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first vocal instruction book for rock singers, which addresses the voice from the professional singer's point of view. Pro Secret's of Heavy Rock Singing contains 25 interviews from professional rock singers, such as, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, Geoff Tate of Queensryche, James Labrie of Dream Theater, and David Draiman of Disturbed.
This book presents the "secrets" of professionals that will help you to sing like a professional, improve your range, increase your power and avoid vocal burnout. Bill covers the basic aspects of a rock singer's voice starting with voice types. He discusses voice range classifications and differences between male and female voices. He explains breath control and utilizing resonance for power. He then moves on to explain how to warm up the voice. Rock singing is about range and rasp, both of which are covered in detail. Finally, Bill touches on vocal health, discussing such important factors, such as hydration and sleep.
This is an excellent book for getting the basics of rock singing. The book is worth buying for the interviews. What better way to learn how to sing rock, than by words of wisdom directly from the masters. Many of the singers discuss singing metal music by way of falsetto. I am not a big fan of using falsetto for singing all of your upper notes because I know that you can develop your full voice to achieve the same range. Regardless of each individual vocalists approach, each interview has several gems detrimental to developing your voice. I recommend this book for all serious rock and hard rock singers.
