Sing for enjoyment

What made the experience of listening to Singing 101 the most enjoyable?

She gave me hope that anyone can sing for their own pleasure

What other book might you compare Singing 101 to and why?

This is my first how to for singing so I have nothing to compare it to.

What does Nancy Bos bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I felt her encouragement throughout the book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I liked how she was honest enough to tell you that for more intense learning for a particular genre you needed a voice teacher/coach.

The Demonslayer who killed the Imposter in me and freed me from my prison to express my true voice.

First I found a YouTube video of someone I never heard of before giving an interview to someone else I never heard of before because I lived under a rock for nearly 4 decades, but I wanted to get this voice I always heard in my heart yet couldn’t properly produce. And then I got the audiobook and had the courage to reach out to the author, and outside of salvation and having my children, this was the best decision I have ever made. Nancy loves and believes in what she does, so this allows her to help produce the same success in others. I am so happy Nancy was on my life path, and I hope all who have found success with her work can also experience time with her to work on your sound.

Good

I got this via audiobook boom. It is a good listen to help people who want to sing better and for those of us who think we can sing and need help understanding that we will never be stars and will always be backup or shower singers. But it is okay to be those. Everyone can't be the lead. The body has only one head and then two or more of everything else so us backups are pretty important as well. That being said this was a good listen.
