Praise for Singing “Kristina brings heart and humor to the study of voice, which has often been taught with a painfully technical approach. Her book is easy to understand, with practical and useful exercises. I really can‘t think of any area she hasn’t covered. I’ll be using her material with my students.” Lyle Dotson, voice instructor “Entertaining and clear, this is a must–have book for any singer. Kristina provides step–by–step advice that can be followed by the beginner, with plenty of useful tips for the more experienced. Teachers, too, will find plenty here to interest them.” Angela Cockburn, performing artist “Full of practical and helpful tools for vocalists, no matter what style they sing.” Kara Churchill, singer and actress “I am getting a lot out of your book. I have been to many great voice teachers, but never learned the fundamental basics. This really ties everything together and helps so much within only a few minutes!” Analisa Corral, singer
