Set Your Voice Free: How to Get the Singing or Speaking Voice You Want

by Roger Love

The easiest way to ensure that you’re getting the same benefit from this material as the students who come into my offices is to do what they do: set up a regular weekly voice lesson. When you’re through reading this chapter, I’d like you to get out your calendar and block out some time for your private sessions with me. Plan one session of at least half an hour or forty-five minutes during the week for reading and listening to each chapter. Consider that to be lesson time, during which you’ll learn about and experience different parts of your voice. I suggest that you take the lessons a week at a time to give yourself a chance to assimilate the material and let it “soak in.” I may ask you to practice simple exercises between the weekly sessions. Practice sets in motion a physical training process that reshapes the way you make sound. You’re learning to control the voice-production muscles, and even a little regular practice will go a long way toward building the physical strength that will make your voice more powerful.
