Being a Singer: The Art, Craft, and Science Details
Review “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 Read more About the Author Linda Balliro has been nominated for a Grammy as Music Educator of the Year and is highly regarded at the Berklee College of Music.

Reviews
"Becoming a great singer means discovering how to align your thoughts, emotions, and behavior to tell the story of the music and lyrics, no matter what you sing." - Linda BalliroThis book teaches you how to find your genuine voice first and foremost, and then helps you to polish and maintain it. Linda Balliro uses the first lesson in the book as the 'getting to know you' she would employ in person, and the tone of her book maintains that connection you feel with her from the beginning. If she asks a question for you to answer, she has encouraging commentary tailored to each possible response. She shows you how to focus on what you are doing by charting your progress. What you begin to notice is an awareness of your own voice and how you use it. It's not just about singing a song. Finding your authentic voice in singing is as important (and part of) finding your 'voice' in life, and as you begin to see the similarities in those two ideas, you will see why utilizing neuroscience - the integration of all possible connections - in your training has such an impact.
