AIIIII!!!! I'm sorry... I didn't mean to respond so strongly, but
I ALWAYS get nervous when someone asks for a "how to" book on voice.
Ok, maybe I'm self serving, seeing as how I teach voice, and have a PhD (well, ok, DMA) in vocal music, but.. ach!

Singing is a very subjective thing.  There is no "method" to singing
which will work 100% of the time with 100% of the students.  That's
because singing is made of so many different variables, from facial
features (the different thicknesses of cheeks, the formation of teeth,
the facial bones themselves, etc.) to emotional make-up (shy people
have different tension spots to overcome than outgoing folks) to general bad or good habits.  Therefore, while there are myriads of books out there, most of
them are meant to be read by the teachers/students of voice as supplement,
or are by charlatans. (ok, my opinion, all right?)

My advice:  find yourself a student (a master's student, or senior or doctoral student) at a local college/university and take inexpensive lessons from that person.  You will be getting good basic technique for a minimum of money, and 
will run less of a chance of hurting yourself....

before I go:  how cn you hurt yourself singing?

a)  vocal cords are very small membranes which, when singing, can be put 
under an enormous strain.  Constant bad technique (sometimes undiscernible
by anyone but a good ear *good = trained*) can result in callouses on the vocal cords... known in the biz as "nodules".  We all know what that means.

b)  singing with a technique which may have worked for someoe else (and thrfore be
good, viable) but which isn't working for you can ingrain all sorts of bad habits... leading to further garbage which will need to be stripped away later.

Oh well, again, just my (hopefully educated) opinion.

I say Davis Gaines playing the Phantom last month. I must agree, he has an
awesome voice. I only wish that the rest of the cast was as good. Overall,

Hello.  I am Paul Sweeney (SWEENEY@UNCAVX.BITNET), Associate Professor of Drama 
at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and scenographer at the
Brevard Music Center.  UNCA is currently evaluating this bulleting board for
possible subscription and distribution through the main/frame to our campus
network.  Being the current chairman of the Academic Computing Advisory
Committee, I am very interested in whether or not serious dialogue concerning
theatre design and technology is feasible through this medium.  I am
particularly curious if the United States Institute for Theatre Technology or
the ITI have any representation among the newsgroups.

It seems to me that this could be an excellent medium for spontaneous exchange
of information that might otherwise go unasked and unanswered for lack of time
to edit, submit, lick stamps, etc. that goes along with newsletters and
magazines.

And everyone knows that You can't reach Me on the phone, nor do I expect your
schedule to allow hanging out by the phone waiting for my call.  We theatre
technicians are impossible to reach by phone in anything resembling a timely
manner.

I would be curious to see in the next couple of days an indication of WHO in
our interest group uses this bulletin board regularly.  Please respond directly
to this board or through BITNET.  Thanks.

	Anyone know what the cast looks like for Jekyll & Hyde on
Broadway this Fall yet?  Chuck Wagner originated the title role here
in Houston, along with Linda Eder as Lucy, the lead female character.
My guess is that Eder will get the nod in NY, too (she is the
composer's girlfriend, after all), but does anyone know about Wagner?
His singing in Houston was just great, much improved, IMHO, since his
Into the Woods days.

I saw him in a production of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE a few years ago
(on my birthday, when a friend of mine first introduced me to A
LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, actually, by giving my a recording).  For the
record, I think he's a terrible actor.  I couldn't imagine him as
the Phantom, even given the limited range of acting required for
that part (asbestos donned... just my opinion).

Someone else I know saw him in DAMN YANKEES, and said much the
same thing (Nice voice, nice face, just too bad about the
acting).

Look no further than Frances Ruffelle (IMHO).  I much prefer her London
recording over her Broadway recording.  One reason you hated the symphonic
Eponine might have been that she doesn't speak english, and just learned
her lines phoenetically (with questionable success).

Ok, more explanations!!!!!!!!  This is always fun, aye!!!!!
Ok, the goal of Theatre at the school here is basicly entertainment.
There are no classes in drama at the high-school so the productions
that are put on, asside from drama competitions, are the only outlet
for drama at out our school.  The high-school (yes, I'm refraining
from naming it) is mostly sports oriented.  Drama recieves little or
no funding and the Drama director is a volunteer teacher.
We do a play a year (all we can afford) and usually don't have much
of a turn-out for tryouts.  But we do have a few people VERY interested
in theatre.  So, those of us with experience, feel it's only fair to
to put something on.  After all, anyone interested in sports can find
something to do, why not people interested in drama?  
Well, I graduated from High School last year vowing that drama at the
school would not die.  So I volunteered to help out whenever I was needed.
So, I get a call asking to do lights and assistant direct.  I would love to
see drama last a LONG time here.  That is why I asked for help over here.
And while I'm here, let me ask one more thing...
Does ANYONE have tips on how to keep drama from completely dying out????
How can I make people take a little more notice of a small school about
to lose something very special?????                          ROG!

	(1) The composer, Frank Wildhorn, his girlfriend, Linda Eder,
the female lead, and Leslie Bricusse, the lyricist, all told me last (1991)
spring the plans for the show. They mentioned the plans again when they
were in town last fall to do "Svengali". I haven't seen them since,
although Bricusse has been back to town quite a few times. Frank also
had indicated that there would be a Broadway cast recording produced.

	(2) They made public announcements about the show going to
Broadway during some of the final performances of J&H.

	(3) Bricusse appears to be on all the high society "A" lists
here in Houston and the local papers' society columns constantly abuzz
with mentions of "Bricusse's upcoming Fall production of Jekyll & Hyde
on Broadway..."

	First off, I hope people have seen my posts re Jekyll & Hyde
and thus are a bit familiar with the Wildorn-Eder-Wagner team. Frank
Wildhorn apparently now has 4 projects going at once: J&H for
Broadway, "Svengali" and "Scarlet Pimpernel" as Broadway-wannabes, and
an opera commissioned by, I believe, the Toronto company. David
mentions Wildhorn's pop-like arrangements, which reflect his
pop-composer roots (remember Whitney Houston's hit "Where Do Broken
Hearts Go?").
	Wildhorn also wrote the songs on his girlfriend Linda
Eder's self-titled solo album (the record is entitled "Vienna" is
Europe). I do like pop music in addition to theater music and do think
her album is terrific.  I don't know if this counts against her, but
Linda got her break by going undefeated during an entire season of the
TV show "Star Search". :)
	Chuck Wagner played both (all?) the title roles in Jekyll&Hyde
and Svengali.

If you are in the Twin Cities, take advantage of the brief run of PIng CHong's
latest, _kind ness_, at the Illusion Theatre in the Hennepin Arts Center.  It
is very accessible, delightfully performed, and a wonderful first experience if
"post-modern" work has never clikcked for you.

It concerns the development of six friends from elementary school through
college (often reminiscent of Christopher Durang).  The interesting element is
that one of the sextet is a gorilla in the same way that one is Catholic and
another is blind.  The gorilla speaks in gorilla with a voice over in English
for monologues.  There is quite a bit of projected imagery as well.  

It's a great chance to see new work (it just opened in Paris last week).
