“Should be on the shelf of every singer, no matter what style, professional or amateur”
"Find Your Voice - The No.1 Singing Tutor"
by Jo Thompson
‘Find Your Voice - The No.1 Singing Tutor’ is the fully revised and extended edition of this classic, best-selling singing book. ‘Find Your Voice’ is the ultimate user-friendly guide to singing and the voice for singers of all styles and abilities. In this extremely approachable and practical singing tutor book you will discover how to breathe properly, develop a sound singing technique, unlock the potential of your voice, audition and perform successfully, develop the perfect practice regime, and warm up your voice effectively.
"I’ve been having singing and voice classes with Jo Thompson for several years now. Jo has a holistic approach to singing - she is not just about scales and the diaphragm. Everything is geared towards relaxation and stress-free performance. She has rightly identified that the enemy of every singer is anxiety: Will I hit the right notes? Will I be able to sing above the drums? What if my throat seizes up? Why don’t I sound like Mariah Carey? (This last one is my own personal bugbear.)
Jo ingeniously marries the idea of a good sing with a kind of healing thing. She pays an almost forensic attention to the different parts of your voice - the head, chest and belly. When I worked on a documentary show recently where I had to sing two songs at the Jazz Café for the denouement, I found Jo’s daily warm ups an inspiration. Enjoy this book - it’s good for your soul!"
Sir Lenny Henry CBE
"Jo is both intellectually and emotionally connected to the human voice in all its capacities from speech to song. This is why she is interesting and interested in all the nuances the voice has to offer. Jo is way ahead of the pack and this fact keeps her lessons informative and inspirational."
