From Library Journal How do you prepare for a "gig"? Choose and use a microphone? Learn pop and contemporary vocal styles? What of those who aspire to perform outside the classical tradition? Lebon, coordinator of jazz voice at the University of Miami, draws on extensive formal and practical training to provide succinct answers to these questions and more. Lebon's intentions are "to provide specific, practical suggestions that will prepare the student/vocalist for professional singing opportunities." Suggestions abound on vocal hygiene, performance preparation, microphone techniques, musical theater pedagogy, and, perhaps most importantly, preparation for success. While articles on any one of these topics are plentiful, no single source covers them all. This book is therefore a one-of-a-kind resource for both teacher and student.
