This is a READ and DO book with 61 practical drills specifically designed to get fast unshakable results. This is NOT a fluff book with useless filler, or a tiny pamphlet written by a human book mill with no real experience as a performer, only to be passed off as a legitimate instructional book. The author, Michael Graves, is an accomplished performer/singer and vocal coach. See the author's page link under the title for more information about Michael and the book's website for video clips of recent performances. As the title suggests, Singing From Scratch starts with building the foundation of the foundation for any singer by uncovering the 'It Factor' and goes on to prove that the 'It Factor' is something everyone possesses, but is simply undeveloped. Then, in an easy to follow, systematic, interactive and fun manner, the reader develops the ability to not only sing, but to sing as well as any pro. If you have been told you are 'tone deaf', understand that there is no such thing. You can sing. This book will show you how. If you are an accomplished singer looking to improve your ability and sing better, the information and drills in this book will do just that. And the book doesn't stand alone.
