The perfect companion piece to Mark Baxter "5 Secrets to Vocal Screaming"
MP3 lesson, "Pro Secrets of Heavy Rock Singing" by Bill Martin explores the secret singing methods & vocal techniques that
today's metal superstars actually use to increase their own ranges, keep their voices healthy (what foods to eat and which ones to
avoid like the plague!), and what they do to avoid burning out their rock voices (and their music careers).
Learn what to do on the road before and after a show to maintain your rocking voice. All that and more as international stars such
as Bruce Dickinson, David Draiman, Geoff Tate, Tim "Ripper" Owens, John Bush, and Joe Lynn Turner among others share their insider
knowledge in "Pro Secrets of Heavy Rock Singing".
Please note: This book contains invaluable rock vocal advice, tips & techniques used by the world's most gifted
hard rock/metal singers. It should not be used in substitution for a thorough rock vocal warm up routine, such as Mark
Baxter's 15-Minute Vocal Warm Up MP3, the
5 Secrets of Vocal Screaming MP3, or Jim Gillette's
Vocal Power DVD. Combine any of these rock warm-up routines with "Pro
Secrets of Heavy Singing" for a complete hard rock/metal vocal workout.
