Vocal Warm Up & Singing Technique Lessons for Beginning to Pro Singers:
Build Power, Strength & Range

The No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workout Vol. Two

---

The popular follow-up to the original vocal workout, Vol. Two uses the same teaching format with eighteen new songs and a new, expanded guidebook.

Vocal coach Susan Anders writes in the introduction to Vol. Two:

"Several years ago I created a vocal warm up method that didn't use scales, arpeggios or other exercises. One reason I did this was because I'd worked with many voice students who just hated singing exercises and wanted to get right to singing songs. I'd also watched many other singers master their exercises during their singing lessons but still have difficulty applying good vocal technique to actual songs. What seemed to work best for them was to start with fairly easy songs that allowed them focus on technique, then move to harder songs. So I created a sequence of songs that gradually increased in difficulty, and I matched the songs with vocalese sounds that I knew were good for warming up and developing the voice. As the songs progressed, the singer would cover many important aspects of good vocal technique, including correct breathing, resonance, range expansion and navigation, diction, and more."

Beginning singers can learn how to sing correctly and develop their voices by singing through the workout at their own pace, with or without the guidebook. Experienced singers can skip the audio singing lessons and use the workout to warm up and maintain their vocal technique and strength.

Volume Two includes:

• Two CDs of 18 fully produced songs and audio singing lessons. CD #1 includes vocals and instructional introductions. CD #2 has the same songs without vocals followed by a section on how to stylize the songs.
• 76-page guidebook including detailed vocal technique information, troubleshooting hints, and vocal stylizing ideas for each song, as well as chapters on dealing with colds, allergies, the environment, and aging.

Sing the Warm-up Set of ten songs to loosen up, breathe correctly, increase your range, and to build control, resonance and better tone.

Sing the Workout Set of eight songs to increase your volume, vocal endurance, sustenance, belting ability, and pitch dexterity.

Please read the following carefully as we can only make exchanges for damaged goods. The following information applies for both Volumes One and Two.

The typical female singer will use the Alto/Bass version, while the typical male singer will use the Baritone/Soprano version. At the end of each section for either Volume One or Volume Two are audio samples. Listen to both audio samples of "Wade In The Water" from Volume One, try to sing along with them, and see which one is better for your range. Keep in mind that "Wade In The Water" is the lowest song in the workout: the lowest notes should fall at the bottom of your range or just below it. If not, try the other version. The highest notes in "Wade In The Water" are a third lower than the highest notes of either Volume One or Two of the workout. If they seem a bit high you can probably work up to them, but if they feel much too high for you try the other version. You can also listen to other sound samples to get an idea of range. "Centerpiece" from Workout Volume One is one of the early easier songs. The three songs on the Workout Vol.Two Sampler are a bit rangier and reach almost as high as the highest notes sung in either Volume One or Two of the workout.
