 plug and play August 29, 2008
flowerpower
This is a good, basic warm-up set. It's great having it on CD to keep me focused to get the basics done. I move on from there. Four stars are because I get slightly irritated by her singing and playing when things speed up. I wish she wouldn't sing along, nor play all the notes. I tend to turn it off and do those myself. It's good to practice with your metronome anyway, and away from the CDs so you can really hear yourself and pay attention to your pitch as well. Great for traveling.
 Amazing Breathing Exercises! Helpful Vocal Exercises July 24, 2008
Shalla DeGuzman (United States)
I am a beginner, but my voice has already improved from practicing using this CD along as reading and practicing with other books such as: Singing for Dummies, Singing Coach Unlimited, free videos at expert village, etc.
If you're the kind of learner who learns from books, and DVD's and CD's etc. then this is a very good choice. One to add to your arsenal of learning how to sing. (I am looking around for a good vocal coach, and when I actually find one who can teach me and practice me with something other than what I've already learned then I'll work with one.)
Oh, and I'm checking out Roger Burnley's EZ Vocal Method, we'll see how that works. Good luck and best with your singing!
***I just had to add this: after using the breathing exercises in this CD one time (I'll be using it everyday for sure!) well, the range of my voice dramatically improved. The squeeky sound that comes when going from chest voice (lower notes) to head voice (higher notes) have disappeared. Wow, amazing, I'm so very grateful I can now reach the high notes easily, comfortably, effortlessly (like she said, if there's any discomfort, then you're doing it wrong). Thanks sooo much!
BTW, you can get this CD as an mp3 download here at Amazon, no waiting, no postage, easy at half the price too.

This is a pretty decent warmup cd, it will help get your voice ready to go somewhat for when you want to sing some actual songs. The major parts of the cd I disagree with however is that she gives some bad advice, and sometimes doesn't give advice at all when it's needed.
She doesn't properly explain what you need to do in order to hit the higher notes in the warmups, and she also tells you on numerous occasions that you need to essentially tense up your stomach in order to hit some of the warmups. This is bad advice as singing should come naturally and you should be in a relaxed state.
Other than this it is a pretty decent cd.
Good Lessons April 25, 2008
Enrique Gutierrez (Orange Park, FL United States)
The CD is really good and as a bonus includes a few lessons of breathing exercises. The only thing I dislike is that, when you hear it everyday, you found a little bit anoying, the comments of the teacher over the piano sound you are suppose to sing. Also sometimes she speak really fast and loud. But maybe is just my point of you after many listens.
My favorite warm-up CD April 15, 2008

I've wanted to sing for as long as I can remember, but never could afford voice lessons. I've recently invested in about 5 different vocal CDs to see if I could help myself learn a bit. Out of all the ones I purchased, this is by far my favorite and most used CD. I found the exercises to be simple, and Ariella explains everything before you attempt it. Some of the "visualizations" she gave before the exercises helped me a great deal. I especially liked the breathing exercises, very helpful.
Some vocal CDs just go through the exercise once and then expect you to be able to do it, but sometimes you like to know WHY the particular exercise is useful for vocal development. Don't worry, she doesn't go overboard with explaining though. The most important thing to keep in mind is to stay in your personal comfort zone. Everyone is at different levels of vocal development, so you must never strain to reach a note that you don't feel comfortable hitting. Ariella covers this in the intro. She cannot tell if you are straining or pushing, so you have to be the judge of what your body is telling you. Another thing to keep in mind is you don't have to try to be powerful when doing these exercises! I know that Ariella sounds loud over the piano when she is going through the exercises but I find it's the best to stay at a speaking level or softer. Just make sure you are comfortable, and don't try to push because you think you have to do these loudly. I find it counter-productive to try to do that. Do what works for you.
I recommend this CD for both people who are starting out and for those who already know how to sing but are just looking for a warm-up CD or a refresher. Of course nothing compares to a vocal coach that can assess your voice and give you specialized vocal lessons, and there is no magic CD that cures all your vocal problems, but this is definitely worth buying if you want to better your voice, no matter what level you're at.
