Early Reviews of Vocal Training for Praise Singers

The title of Julie Kinscheck’s book, Vocal Training for Praise Singers, understates the rich, varied content of this project. Here you will find a humble, open, personal, vulnerable, experi- ence-informed guide to all things having to do with leading or participating in contemporary

worship, from musical notation, to vocal technique and health, to group dynamics, to spiritual counsel. Thank you, Julie, for gleaning from your years of experience as a singer, worship leader, and follower of Jesus to assemble this spiritually sensitive guide for your fellow servants of God.

Julie has produced here an almost encyclopedic guide to everything pertaining to vocal excellence. Her rich heritage, thorough training, and specific education combine with years of real-world and real-church experience to provide everything that one needs to advance vocally-and spiritually- in both church and secular settings.

I know Julie as a gifted, authentic, and passionate worship leader, songwriter, and performer. Her love for God and the church is obvious and bleeds off of these pages. She is a stellar example of one who has chosen to hone and utilize her gifts for the glory of God; this volume is yet another example of that passion.

I commend this work for anyone who sings in a worship team or choir, has ambition to sing for a living, or just wants to improve their singing technique to glorify God in the congregation.
