Review:
v04.n732 started a topic which later got this comment: Ifound the informatin "psuedo" scientific and had to decipher a bit, but it seems like this approach from what I've read is again going back to a free natural voice. When I thought about what I do and just sang, I saw that what he was saying is what a good singer does because of vocal freedom, but again an idea is being presented which may cause the student to focus on a particular principal rather than a relaxed body with good muscle tone, supported breath, and good vowel sounds, an approach which always seems to create these "discoveries" naturally. [more, less pertinent to review]

Review:
v01.n023 short description. v02.n286 and following: discussions of Riggs and his methods. v02.n302 comments by someone who read the book. "Seth Riggs is well-known in Hollywood and Broadway circles for working with musical theatre and pop stars. He also has many classical clients, several of which have won the Met auditions in the past 8 years." See archive for publisher address if needed. v02.n153 citer adds "the slipcase is junky looking and unnecessary."

Review:
v02.n123 Also buy or check out the French Diction book by Thomas Grubb. Excellent reading and approached to French vocal music. [another poster says this:] Grubb's book is by far the best guide to singing French that I have seen or read. I was lucky enough in college to have him as a visting professor, and he is a truly exceptional man. [and another poster says] I too have found the Grubb an exceptional book, although I have never met the man. I have found his transliterations of the standards to be a valuable tool in teaching my students who do not speak french how to go about preparing a song in french using the IPA. [and yet another:] I second the recommendation. That's the text for the class I'm currently in, and for the *first time EVER* I'm gaining some facility with the pronunciation of the language.

Review:
v01.n033 There is a very complete book called "Singing in Latin" by Harold Copeman. It's 360 page large format hardback and published by the author at 22 Tawney St, Oxford OX4 1NJ, England. It handles Latin pronunciation through the ages in different countries and is probably too detailed for someone who just wants one acceptable method. He has also a 48 page small format booklet called "The Pocket Singing in Latin" from the same address which may be enough for many singers.
