he has a book called Secret's of Singing, which i actually have at home. It got some great stuff in there, but i cant stand the example CD's. They sound really dated tonally, and i havent found them much help. The common sense stuff on health, anatomy, vocal strength adn warm ups is all cool though. I use the book on occasion, but nothing beats a teacher for discipline!

hey thanks heaps. I've actually read articles elsewhere on the net by him, his stuff is good. 70.00 US is a lot in Australian dollars for a lesson that cant even be face to face, but it still may be worthwhile depending on wether I think it's worth the cash. Obviously I couldnt keep paying for that type of instruction every week! I will look into it. Definitely I'll try to get the book.

i guess so, depending on what the DJ says. It's all rock n roll to me, honestly!
Mike Patton: Faith No More/Mr Bungle Chris Cornell: Soundgarden/Solo act Dave Grohl: Foo Fighters Ed K: Live Scott Weiland: Stone Temple Pilots Lane Staley: Alice in Chains Jeff Buckley: Solo act (you must have heard of him, if not seek him out) Ben Harper: Solo act/innocent Criminals
