Rating: Summary: (((((ROAD WORTHY))))) Review: Before you take your voice to the road read this book. Be prepared to sing/talk with more poise and consistecy in every environment encountered. Feel knowledgable enough to apply and protect the voice mechanism, damage can cost gig's and career's. Bottom line, been in the music business for over 20 years and have never come across a book that allowed me to understand my voice as an instrument more than this one.........thanks!!
Rating: Summary: Forget the resume & wardrobe - check your voice! Review: Ever wonder why, with the perfect resume and polished appearance, you're passed over for the promotion or don't get the job? This book is a real eye-opener - your voice has so much to do with how people perceive you and how they react to you, yet rarely do we consider how we sound. Renee's style is easy-to-read, like an interesting conversation, full of entertaining anecdotes, useful info and helpful exercises. She makes you realize that delivery is as important as content (ask any comedian!) and gets you on the right track to first, being aware of and then, controlling this powerful tool and perpetually using it to your advantage.

Rating: Summary: Finally a chance to strengthen my voice Review: I was amazed at how much deeper and stronger my voice sounded, after trying this approach for only a few minutes! I have always had a soft voice, and often had trouble projecting over the background noise in the architecture studios I teach. In spite of wishing for a more effective speaking voice, I don't have time to spend on laborious exercises. The approach presented in this book is easy to understand, and can be done in spare moments, in the shower, etc. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants their voice to sound more professional and confident.
Rating: Summary: Public Speakers Should Read This Now Review: I was impressed that the author sought to train and not to impress. You will learn what you do wrong and then you learn how to correct it. Without recognizing your speaking problems (ALL of them, not just one such as a fear of speaking in public), you won't be a better speaker.

Rating: Summary: Understanding which speeches make folks listen Review: Renee GrantWilliams' Voice Power tells how to apply positive vocal techniques to both business and personal situations. From using silence as an exclamation and delivering persuasive sales pitches to understanding which speeches make folks listen, this is packed with insights.
Rating: Summary: Hear This!! Review: The book was OK, but somehow I was expecting more. I did learn some things to improve my speech, but thought the book would have been nicer with a few more exercises and a little less levity. Easy read -- 1 to 2 nights.
