Very good for beginning vocalists October 11, 2008 This is a very good book for someone with limited knowledge of how the voice works. The cd that comes along with the book is excellent and contains two easy to follow 20min warm up routines. The information in the book is easy to understand though very sugar coated and doesn't give the whole story. All of the "star" comments are useless and just take up space but all in all it's worth reading and the disc is great.
great purchase June 14, 2008 this item came without the cd but otherwise it was in great condition and in a timely manner.
Upgrade your Roger Love May 31, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
"Sing like the Stars" is as light version of Set Your Voice Free: How To Get The Singing Or Speaking Voice You Want. I enjoyed Stars as it is fun, and the exercises really do help, though I would suggest getting his "Set Your Voice Free" as it has more depth. One nice thing that Love does with Stars is he shows you how to get more expression out of a song with a few included tracks. Both books include a CD with vocal exercises. Stars includes a condensed selection of Free's exercises plus the song tracks. If you already have Free then pickup Stars. Be careful though as Love's products are addictive.
Save your money, get the other book! April 5, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed Roger Love's book, "Set Your Voice Free", it honestly helped me overcome the weaknesses in my singing voice, particularly with the 'break'. So when this book came out, I though I absolutely HAVE to have it, if it's anything like "Set Your Voice Free", it must be wonderful. Well, I'm sorry to say it is a disppointment. It really won't help you improve your voice, now if you are between the ages of 12 and 18 and love going to karaoke, or if you have only sung in the shower, then this book is for you. No professional or semi-professional should ever aspire to sing exactly like another star, that's absolutely dreadful!
I don't know how the other reviewers would rate this so highly....teenagers, perhaps? As for Jaime Vendera, the glass-breaking maestro, I bet you he didn't even read this book and he gave it 5-stars. It's just a matter of 'scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'.
If you are serious about improving your voice, this book is NOT for you. Buy the other one, If, however, you just want to have fun at the karaoke bar and have money to spare, then go ahead and buy this book. Happy warbling!
Excellent, but I recommned Rogers other book... June 5, 2006 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
This is the second book authored by Roger Love on vocal technique. This book is marketed for a younger audience and focuses entirely on singing voice while his other book, Set Your Voice Free focuses on speaking and singing. Regarding instructional advice, there is little new information in this book and the vocal exercises (called daily Warm ups in this book) are identical... So if you already own Set Your Voice Free!, you already have the most important element in Roger Love's self-training material, the One-Octave, Octave-and a half step and Octave Jump exercises. These are presented as seperate tracks on Set Your Voice free, but are rolled into one 20 minute track for Sing Like The Stars. They are very powerful excerises that produce results if practiced daily. What's added to Sing Like The Stars! is more focus on vibrato and Falesetto (only briefly mentioned in Set Your Voice Free), lots of tips from celebs (most of them common-knowledge), and many more entertaining stories about Rogers work with stars we all know. Also, Roger Love takes apart three chart topping songs and breaks them down using a notation system he calls Love Notes. What's missing here (compared to Set Your Voice Free) is most of the self-analysis: the nasel sound, the gravel voice, the brassy voice, etc... Set Your Voice gives you a lot of tools to help target problems, sing like the stars doesn't put much focuse there. Roge Love's techniques are pretty amazing, so I understand why he would want to come out with something a bit more youth focused. Even many adults may find Sing Like The Stars! to be more for them.... but I would recommned Set Your Voice Free because of the added information about speaking voice and Roger makes a good case for how the two are related.
