Singer's Survival Guide To Touring Elisabeth Lohninger

Veteran Jazz vocalist Elisabeth Lohninger pulls back the curtain on what it takes to have a vocally successful tour. Culled from 20 years' experience as an independent, touring vocalist, the book is structured in 2 parts: part 1 with the nuts and bolts of healthy touring that leaves the singer with both their voice and their body, mind and spirit intact after a tour; and part 2: a collection of stories from the road. Darkly funny, self deprecating and disarmingly honest, the stories range from the mundane (vacuuming the hotel hallway at 6am is a hotel rule!) to the existential (voice? what voice ). Singer's Survival Guide to Touring is informative, laugh-out-loud funny and heart-breakingly real. This book is for singers and anybody who ever wanted to know what it's like to be a touring vocalist.
