Essential Guide to Singing

Choose from the following seven guides by television vocal coach, author and singer Helen Astrid

“For the beginner or seasoned professional, Helen Astrid's Singing is the Spice of Life is a concise, informative and encouraging step-by-step manual on getting the most out of your natural voice. If you want to aim for the Grammies or merely knock 'em dead at your local karaoke bar, this short, knowledgeable and very readable booklet can help you get started. The technical advice is geared toward practical results, like how to give a successful audition, but the real aim is to unlock the singer within. Singing in front of an audience is always a challenge, and half the battle is building up self-confidence. This booklet can help you do that, and the rewards can enrich your life in other ways too. The anecdotes about singers like Mariah Carey and Charlotte Church remind us that the pros need just as much help as anyone else. One place to find it is here."
