The best book on great singing. 
I bought this book and am indelibly impressed by its author's generosity in sharing his knowledge of the head voice which makes you discover why the great singers sound the way they do. I read it up in one week: just couldn't put it down. This most inspiring book showed me a new way of singing. And best of all, made me recover my falsetto which I had lost more than 15 years ago due to someone's injudicious criticism that falsetto is wrong singing, which actually happened to me: singers blindly trust a teacher hoping all dreams will come true. This is one thing discussed in the book too.
After having read a myriad of books on voice and vocal technique by a number of authors, I can say this book is a turning point. I was really fulfilled. I have just started singing in my head voice, and the results are showing beautifully. With Striny's directions on the head voice I accomplished such a lightly produced, easy resonating voice that I was surprised to hear the resonance of my voice filling my whole house. Also, my timbre took on a new beautiful personality. Wait, there's more to it, I started listening to and hearing the great singers in a completely different way, thus changing my own conception of great singing. Singing has become easy, supple, elastic and creamy. Also, it became a lot easier for me to sing coloratura and trills.
And my biggest surprise was that by reading the book for the second time, I still continued to discover new things and to understand others' singing and my own CLEARLY. I now understand what causes the pitfalls of any singer. Reading this book a second time shows how little we know of great singing and, conversely, how well you begin to identify the very nature of anybody's voice production, consequently using this skill to advantage. This is now my book of singing and I will reread it forever.
Having been a long-time friend and pupil of Birgit Nilsson's who taught him the ropes of head voice singing, Striny gives you these ropes in the book to you, to me, and to any frustrated singer in search of happiness through singing. This book can never get to be too much of a good thing and deserves all exposure it can get.
