Description


Have you ever met someone who was simply amazing (for example, a sports icon)? Where everything about them intrigued you? It’s as if they had a secret and left us with FAQs. “How did they do that?” “Where did they come from?” or “What is their ‘IT’ factor?” To these ends, this innovative, attention-grabbing guidebook is packed with information to answer the most common questions: What are the singing secrets? What are those things singers do privately before their public demonstrations? What are the recipes or solutions to vocal challenges and stage performances?

 

The author uses a specialized approach to singing and winning audiences, focused on seven interpretations.  All of these interpretations are expressions used as a way of explaining something stylistically, creatively, or dramatically.  They offer distinct and enlightening ways of seeing and understanding the differences between a performer and an entertainer.  The singing secrets are designed to train and equip students not only to sing well but also to understand how to communicate and how to leave strong impressions on their audiences. Uniquely, the information found in this book is not limited to singers, but it’s valuable to Public Speakers and Actors as well.

Fun and Informative Guide to Singing and Performance! As a lifelong singer and learner, I found Jackson's conversational and connection to his readers engaging. From the introduction to the last chapter, he finds a way to help you educate yourself about better vocal production and keep you engaged! I am a performer and found new ways to think of expressing the music as a vocal artist. I highly recommend! You won't be bored with the material as it is presented!! Read more

Highly recommended! Everyone can take something special from this book. I absolutely loved reading this book! The book was very informative, fun, engaging, englightening and profound. I could not put the book down. Jackson has a great way of explaining the human voice that is both relatable and profound. Jackson has a skilled way of meeting all readers of this book where they are at, regardless of level. He takes you on a journey to learn more about the human voice, unlearning myths from the past, cultures around the world, languages and essence of being human. I truly enjoyed learning more about universal human expression through the lens of Jackson. You can see, through this book, that Jackson has had a very exciting life filled with great musical, cultural, traveling and people-related experiences. I am a professional singer, and I took many notes in this book. I particularly noted Jackson's insight on performance presentation and movement. There are tricks (or secrets) that Jackson shares with all of us in this book that are not secrets after all. That is what is brilliant about this book. Jackson opens our minds by showing us that there no real singing secrets, just methods. I loved learning about Jackson's upbringing and how his world was shaped with music. This book is also rich with quotes. The quotes supplement what Jackson writes and teaches in his writings. The quotes help us see that Jackson's singing methods are connected to universal truths. It doesn't matter if you're a public speaker, singer (professional, semi professional, or you sing as a hobby), music teacher, or a music lover, you will take many nuggets of information from this book. SINGING SECRETS will show you profound ways to edify your vocal abilities, but with practical methods. I am looking forward to reading the next books written by Jackson Caesar. Read more

Essential book for every singer and musician! This book is absolutely incredible. It gives me permanent tools to use in performing. I feel more prepared now in different gigs I have. I can tell the author is not just giving theory but real practical methods to use from his own experience. I recommend this book to any aspiring singer or musician. I feel it's a duty to learn the most techniques as possible to enhance the experience of the audience. I've had performances where I knew I "killed it" because of audience feedback, and these techniques will give me a greater edge now. Read more
