I just finished Being a Singer: The Art, Craft, and Science by Linda Balliro.
I didn't know what to expect, but I'm really glad I requested it.
This is an excellent book. I have only recently started singing (well except in the car) and taking lessons.
I've also worked with a vocal/voice therapist some. Ms Balliro has put together an excellent book!
