The Singing Athlete

Brain-Based Training for Your Voice

By: Andrew Byrne

Narrated by: Andrew Byrne

If you are a singer, you are an athlete. And the athletic skills that make you a great vocalist come from one source: your brain.

The Singing Athlete is the first book of its kind: a view on voice training through the lens of both the physical body and the nervous system. As one of the top teachers of professional Broadway performers, Andrew Byrne has developed a unique synthesis of athletics and neuroscience that will guide you to higher levels of performance.

In addition to his work on Broadway, Andrew is devoted to studying the training methods used by Olympic athletes as a master practitioner of Z-Health functional applied neuroscience. He has taken thousands of hours of research and boiled it down into an easily digestible form that will help you unlock amazing new vocal skills.

When you buy The Singing Athlete, you’re not just picking up a book. You’re getting a complete training system.

Through the audiobook, you will learn to:

• Breathe correctly for stress reduction and optimal vocal support
• Exercise your tongue, jaw, and throat in ways that decrease threat in your brain
• Use your ears and eyes to improve vocal range and stamina
• Heal any scars that might be holding you back
• Eliminate reflux, tinnitus, sinus problems, and other vocal stumbling blocks
• Move better, feel better, and sing better

Game Changer for Singers!

This book is a complete game changer for singers and performers- the information in it is easy to apply immediately and fascinating!

Another book about singing that doesn't teach it

This is the third book about singing I've listened to that doesn't include any actual voice exercises to work with. what is here is a lot of boring intellectuaizing with no visual representation and you're going to forget it all by the end of the book.

there are links to a website which supposedly has a course you can take, but i wanted something that i can work with on the go without trying to download random mp3 files which are a pain to play on my phone.

if you want to actually work on singing, avoid this. it isn't "a game changer" it's basically a guy who doesn't even have a compelling speaking voice (nose sucking noises at the end of every sentence!) who doesn't even teach you how to sing. Refund?

Boring

More of a science lecture than a useful tool. I wish I could have sampled a better portion before purchasing.

Tech, biologic, & scientific, anatomy of singing.

I am an RN. so I have a medical background, and a lot of this book was too much for me to comprehend.
It's a very technical read, like a text book and requires great concentration.
I read the audio version, and was unable to access the online charts, exercises, etc. which was a huge disappointment. It kept saying, I had to use a real email address, which I was using. Epic fail!
I've been taking voice lessons to improve my singing, just for the fun of it.
I am 72, and sing while showering, riding a bike, gardening, and in my car.

My one takeaway, was to realize how physical singing is. It's not just your voice, but many parts of your brain, and body are involved.

I couldn't wait till the book was over, as it was boring, at the same time it was fascinating, and since I couldn't see the illustrations, it was frustrating.
The author/narrator, had a fine voice that moved me along.

If you love to sing, and you're a brainiac who enjoys anatomy and physiology, this book is for you.

It didn't help me sing any better, but it did make me more aware of what was going on in my body, when I try to sing.

Boring scientific information

Boring, do not spend your credit to this book. All google information. I want a refund
