I can sing but where is my voice?
Ricci has had significant experience as both a vocal performer and educator.
“I Can Sing But Where Is My Voice” is a clear reflecDon of this.Not only does this book contain a wide range of very pracDcal, measurable exercises and strategies to help the student to improve the quality of their singing but it also
addresses the singer as a whole person.
The voice is a unique instrument in that it exists within the body of the performer. Ricci
is obviously acutely aware of this and has explored many ways of improving a person’s well-being which then has a posiDve impact on their ability to realize their potential as a vocalist.
I am confident that this thought-provoking book will be a valuable resource for singers regardless of their level of experience.
