   I’m an advanced beginner who’s been taking voice lessons for about 4 years now. I found “The Ultimate Breathing Workout” very helpful and would definitely recommend it. The tone of the writing is annoying, there’s no question about that. I appreciate Jaime Vendera’s enthusiasm, but his self-promotion and goofiness start to grate. In the end though, it’s in the exercises he describes that the value lies. The exercises were helpful to me both in strengthening my breathing and in making me aware of the muscles I needed to engage. He proposes certain exercises (such as holding your breath) that other writers (Richard Miller for example) dismiss, but nothing he suggests seems dangerous to me or too wacky. Likewise, I’ve found that his workout provides a very useful singing warm-up as well.

   The only book I have found to comprehensively and specifically cover the topic of breathing and breath support.

   If you truly want to learn to sing well, meaning powerfully, as well as softly, sing long sustained phrases & notes, or perhaps quick short notes you must learn the correct way to inhale and exhale for singing.

   Vendera’s book will not only help get you there, but make you a virtual master. I cannot recommend this one highly enough.

   I bought this book along with the second edition of “Raise Your Voice” also By Jaime Vendera. I highly recommend that you buy both since they complement each other. I try out every vocal exercise with each book I purchase. I am a master teacher and am interested in what other teachers can teach me. I have learned a lot from Jaime’s books, especially when it comes to support of the mechanism. Of special interest is the offering of how to keep track of your progress. I’ve read at least 30-40 books on technique. Jaime’s is one of the only ones I recommend. This particular book will really boost your power and help you bridge to the power in the section of the voice (the passagio and beyond) that most singers are looking for. Don’t waste you time looking and looking and looking for what might be the right book. All of his material will work for you, you will understand it, and I consider them a must have for any singer serious about vocal technique. Do yourself a favor. I did.

   This book is a valuable tool for any singer striving to increase the range and power of their voice. The exercises presented by the author in this book are simple to perform, but are challenging as any training program should be. Results are easily gauged, and you will definitely see the improvements in your live performances.

   This book combined with Raise Your Voice is awesome. The workout is kinda intense at first but you get used to it. Its really the best way I’ve seen to make quick improvements.
