Reviews

“Balliro has created a training manual that is a page turner—I couldn’t put it down! I would love to learn how to sing and Linda’s book made it seem plausible even for me. I’m thrilled to recommend Being a Singer for anyone who wants to understand singing, how it works, and why we do it. This vocal training is the best in the industry.” —Marilyn R. Atlas, Talent and Literary Manager and Producer, and coauthor of Dating Your Character


“Being a Singer provides a refreshing insight into the importance of a singer’s ability to find their own voice. The book provides a logical approach that guides singers in the direction of optimal vocal performance. When talking to patients with voice disorders, I will utilize examples from the ‘chart your experience’ exercises.” —James Burns, MD FACS, Associate Professor of Laryngeal Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School
