The act of singing has been defined by most cultures as an elitist act that only few may do. Public singing has all but disappeared from daily life. The commodification and corporatization of singing has lulled us into accepting that most of us have no business doing it. Yet singing is one of the most beneficial acts of expression and healing possible within the human form.

This book, Personal Resonance - A Voice Practice for All Disciplines, questions preconceptions of what it means to sing by exploring why we possess the ability to do so in the first place. It outlines a process of reclaiming your voice as an instrument of expression, regardless of discipline or genre. It will leave you with a practice that you can carry with you and develop to suit your own impulses. Inside you will find detailed descriptions and explorations of diaphragmatic breathing, vocal function and health, resonant areas, vocal registers, and the relationship of your voice to your identity, body, memory and emotions. Most of all, it is a guidebook to accessing your voice as a radical act of pleasure.

"This important book acknowledges the physical, emotional, and spiritual make-up of us humans, which is surprisingly rare in the field of vocal pedagogy. Kiley writes with clarity and artistry, expressing original concepts he has gleaned and honed from extensive experimentation and deep thinking. If you want to understand how you operate optimally as a holistic being and how this can improve your singing, study Kiley's jewel of a book without delay and put his brilliant ideas into practice for yourself." - Michael Hanko, Founder of FreeBody FreeVoice 

"Michael Kiley helped me connect with my voice in a way I hadn't previously thought possible. I can't recommend him highly enough as a guru of breath/singing/resonance." - Dave Hartley, Musician (The War On Drugs, Nightlands)
