I really enjoyed reading this book

I found this well crafted, polished, and insightful. It has something for any singer -- and it integrates the ideas well. It is mostly thought-evoking and it also has practical exercises. It is very readable too. If you are not a singer -- you should still read this book -- it's also about life, expressing yourself, speaking, dancing, and simply "being" in a practical and thoughtful way. I'm personally not a fan of new-agey books, but I found the spiritual approach in this book to be very palatable to my overly-intellectual mind. I'd recommend this as a nice gift too.

A Phenomenal Spiritual Approach--a Necessity for Vocalists

I highly recommend this phenomenal book. I have been singing for years, and this book has been a true blessing, combining spirituality with using your body as a cherished instrument. It is about a wholistic approach to singing, which is essential for anyone wishing to be a truly outstanding vocalist. After reading this book, you will have a greater awareness of each note and each subsequent vibration in the body, *feeling* instead of just singing the song, and how to approach your instrument without constant judgements, but with love and acceptance and a sense of discovery. I have read many books about singing and music, and this is the most important book to read to be a truly phenomenal vocalist.

Find Your Voice and Save Your Soul

Sloan's book is a handy guide to a path of spiritual awakening and personal growth through singing. Readers are guided through a transformational process of "learning to be whole," a truly educational experience with voice and song. Should make us rethink any proposals to diminish the role of the arts in all forms of education, especially public education.

Finally, a book that helps...

I have been singing now for numerous years, but only now do i realize all the spiritual apects of the art. This book helped me find these, and become a better singer, and person.

Finding Your Voice is a wonderful book!

Carolyn Sloan was my voice teacher for over 6 years. I am away in college now, but having a copy of Finding Your Voice with me at school keeps everything I learned from Ms. Sloan fresh in my mind. Learning from her was really an incredible experience. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky as I was, to be able to study with her privately. However, Finding Your Voice gives people everywhere a chance to benefit from Ms. Sloan's teachings. I recommend this book highly, for anyone curious about a new, more spiritual and natural approach to singing. You will be amazed and delighted by what she has to say, I promise!
