Voice Builders for Better Choirs is a valuable resource for choral directors. With 141 warm-ups and vocal exercises, this book will help singers with tone production, diction, articulation, and intonation. Exercises for posture, breathing, vowels, flexibility, range, consonant “R,” vowels, and intervals are included. The online audio access provides demonstrations for every exercise.
