Good reality check...

I've been out of school for a while and singing professionally here and there. This book is a great resource for people who are starting their career. It helps keep you in check as far as practicing habits and knowing what you may have to offer in the operatic world. He can be a bit pointed at times and even a little harsh, but for those who are deluding themselves with dreams of singing next to Renee at the Met, need to read this book. No frills and no wasteful technical-talk like in Miller, or god help us, McKinney. Read this to learn how to objectively see your singing as a career-building instrument.
