BRIAN KANE-5.0 out of 5 stars-I purchased Vocal Mastery as a Christmas present for my oldest child who's expressed interest in learning how to sing. I've seen the author, Tad Sisler, perform before and was impressed with Tad's vocals. I wanted to get a book from a proven musician whose has had decades of experience singing professionally. There are six chapters covering all the essential topics both myself as a parent and my aspiring pre-teen singer wanted to know: the physics / biology of singing, warming up, breathing techniques, song interpretation, vocal control, hydration and vocal health, different vocal styles, music theory basics, building confidence, performing publicly, building a career in music, music industry challenges, and keys to success in a vocal career.If you've got someone who wants to get into vocals - maybe even compete in a singing competition - this is a great primer. Tad is a proven vocalist with decades of experience and this book captures the foundations well.
