This book has profound impact on my progress in my voice lessons. It describes the singing process as it really is physically, mentally and spiritually. It made me be able to more consistently connect the soul every time I sing. Empowering to the extreme. Sis. Chipman was truly inspired and inspiring. She was my teacher's teacher so having read every word of her book I now have a soul-connection with my own instructor. This is to singing what the "Walk Yourself Well" book is to exercise. Absolutely way-altering.
