Great coach, great voice

I've been teaching Vivation for almost 15 years, and I've received coaching from numerous Vivation Professionals over the years. Yet Patricia stands out above them all. She is both a very gentle and very effective facilitator of this process, who understands the deep fundamentals of what makes clients have efficient and pleasurable sessions. When I am not available to teach, I always refer people to Patricia to ensure they are in good hands and get the best Vivation training possible. Although Vivation is best learned in person by a trained teacher who can help each person get past their unique blocks to efficient and powerful integration, every little bit helps, including this CD. For those who already know Vivation, this CD-set is a great companion to keep one's practice at the highest level possible. Highly recommended!

Wow. One of the many flavors of CeeLo. Now I understand why he was a coach on The Voice. From Goody Mob ("Who's that peepin' in the window? Pow! Nobody now.") to this...he is everything and has something good for everyone.

Misha's voice, good lord. Whiskey and honey. I would like to be further guided by Dr. Chambers, please. Very effective tool at showcasing how mindless and obedient people can become to the right person helping them. I too found myself extremely irritated when he was interrupted and didn't want it to end. Mr. Reznick, if you ever want to venture into actual guided meditation recordings and can snag Misha, you have a built-in customer base. 10/5 stars.

I highly recommend this 4-CD set for singers and speakers. Not only has it improved my singing voice in 2 months, but my speaking voice is also much better. I waited until now to write this review, because it took me a month to get through the first CD and a month to get through the second, and I didn't want to base the review on incomplete knowledge of the product.

Ariella Vaccarino starts her student off with easy exercises and progressively increases the difficulty and benefit until the exercises are suitable for a professional-level singer. I am only now starting the third CD, having repeated the first and second ones several times each, but I don't want to wait longer to post this laudatory review.

I have always favored the teachings of Don Miguel  with his unpretentious, first person narrative style.  But incorporating his teaching into your life can be difficult.  As Don Miguel says, it takes an act of will, applied persistently from day to day,to change your thinking. I appreciate this CD because I need to hear the teachings over and over, to remind me what I am working for.  If you are considering buying this CD, you are probably already familiar with the book it is based on, and so you will realize how significant the teachings are. And if you haven't, I suggest you read the book first to get a basic grasp of the material.  This adaptation is very listenable thanks to the narration of Peter Coyote; he does a good job of interpreting Don Miguel's coloquialisms. His style is both firm and gentle, and its easy to imagine it is spoken as Don Miguel would speak it.

I bought this dvd after seeing Jang Keun Suk singing on You Tube. I love his voice! He is a wonderful singer and also a wonderful actor. These 4 dvds shows Jang Keun Suk everyday tour life, how he prepare for a show, what he does to relax and have fun (seem like he love to swim). It also shows many interviews, fans meeting, and singing during his tour in Asia. Although I like his interviews and interaction with his fans because he is so funny and has a very charismatic personality, I had to rate this dvd 4 stars because there wasn't enough singing for me. But I still recommend this dvd to everybody who like Korean music because he is a good singer and it was fun to watch his every life when he's on tour.

If you've listened to any Brian Tracy tapes, or seen his videos, you know he can go on for a long, long time--on many different subjects.  Much is repeated, on virtually every one of his programs, this is no exception.  However, a lot of new, invigorating stuff is on these CD's.  The price alone makes this an excellent program.  All of Tracy's audio/video programs on Nightingale Conant sell for $70 and up.  I keep these CD's in my car all the time, and listen to them often.  His tone of voice is much more soothing than Zig, and he is almost every bit as enthusiastic.  If you are thinking about getting an auto-audio education, this is a great starting point.

I loved his voice many years ago when he was part of the Monkees and I appreciate it even more now. He does a great job on the Carole King songs and I don't think there is a weak link in the whole collection.  Some of my favorites are, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?", "Up on the Roof", "Sometime in the Morning" (I actually like this version better than the original Monkees version), "Take Good Care of my Baby", and the one I like best, "Go Away Little Girl".  I bought this mp3 album about a year and a half ago, but find myself listening to it often, especially now in the summer. I'm glad I purchased it and hope to see him do more albums.

If it had been an actor reading the book, I wouldn't have bought the audio version - you can tell a lot about a person by listening to their voice.  Mark comes across as a man with so many wonderful qualities, a very balanced personality.  He'd be someone you could count on.  I loved that they included the frustrating, humiliating, depressing, angry feelings of being handicapped. That's life when you are handicapped. I think we all need to know how to have courage and hope when going through a difficult time.  However, many books don't include the times when you want to give up because you feel so overwhelmed.  I liked how he encouraged Gabby to say 'beaten up' instead of 'beaten'.  I also liked how they acknowledged how difficult things are instead of pretending that they aren't so bad - not making things out to be worse than they are, but also not minimizing the effort it will take to make progress.  I loved the stories others shared with them about their own recovery.  So many people took the time to offer their encouragement!  I don't often read a book twice, but I will listen to this more than once.  This is a very inspirational book.

NOTE:  This review was written by someone else.

 Im a 15-year-old girl and Im a huge Seahawks fan!!!

This book is about Pete Carrolls coaching experiences over roughly 17 years. He coached the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and USC. With the Jets and Patriots he got fired, and in the book he gives great advice about failing and what he learned from it.

Pete Carroll learned from his failures about how to clarify his philosophy better to the front office to make the front office believe in him. The players have always bought into his philosophy that was not the problem. Some people say hes a players coach by modifying his tone or his approach to get through to each individual player.  He makes practice fun by joking around with his players and doing thing like Competition Tuesday.

Ive only read half of the book but Im very enticed by it and cant wait to read more of it. I think that this book appeals to everyone because his book is inspiring and offers good life advice.

As a former student of Coach L, I can say his teachings are worth giving a read. What he teaches is simplistic and often overlooked by many. The lessons he has to offer are easily applicable to everyday living. He has had the opportunity to teach and develop many high-caliber scholars using his methods, which have certainly made an impact on my high school career.

The quality of the audio book is great. Easy to listen to and a well done recording. As for the content, Darren often quotes Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy. One of the key differences for me is that Jim Rohn often talks about how his success is more than just learning how to improve and do things others won't do. It is also about how God has made us and how understanding how God has made us allows us to be successful. In a self-improvement book, that shows up in the depth of examples and how those examples apply to our lives. I didn't hear any of that with this. As a result, I found the examples to be somewhat shallow and redundant and not as applicable to life.  When you take God out, it becomes a Tony Robbins-like message that is positive and hard working but not with depth. I was hoping for more.

In the early part of Renee Fleming's recording career, this was a wise, safe and logical choice of albums. The selection of arias included in this album cannot be toped, and provide a great reference to vocalists such as myself. Being an avid Fleming fan, as well as a student of voice, and recently focusing on Mozart's songs and arias, this was a great buy and a wonderful addition to my growing collection.

I find it interesting to hear the lightness in her voice in this early recording. It might seem as if she is trying to find her voice and to gain control of the huge voice that she was blessed with. When we hear her now, she is in immaculate control of that gorgeous sound, providing a carefully calculated delivery every time.  However, I find that the freedom and lesser degree of control is an outstanding comparison to her more recent recordings. In the (nearly) past two decades, she has come a long way, but I don't know if I can prefer one Renee over the other.

It would be great for her to do a "Part II" of the Mozart arias, so that we could compare her mature voice with her free, youthful sound here.

My first exposure to Tom's voice was recent, when I saw him live on stage starring in "Will Rogers Follies". He was completely in character and so charming, but it was my first time hearing him sing. That warm baritone with sensitive vibrato was so pleasant to listen to. He offered to stay afterwards and sign CDs in the lobby, which I wish we'd had time to do, to meet him, but we couldn't.  Instead I ordered online.
To this review, you get some of his stage presence here, but for me not enough. And maybe I was spoiled hearing him first in a wide open setting. This is in studio,  and more subdued. The selections are varied, with some interesting takes on known classics.
I hope he does a Broadway album; he has  numerous credits. His rendition of "Never Met A Man I Didn't Like" from WRF left no dry eyes, and I'd love to hear it over and over.

Wow.  Didn't even know about this guy till someone pointed me in his direction.  What a voice!  Glad he applied it to some terrific showtunes - even some of my favs!  Yep, I'm a fan now.
