The Singing Voice: An Owner’s Manual (2nd edition)
by Pat Wilson
Practical hints, advice and information for training and trained performers who need to keep their singing voice in working trim. Not a how-to-sing book! The writing is clear and down-to-earth, spiced with a sense of humor. Witty illustrations, coupled with the author’s warm voice, guide the reader through wide-ranging topics vital for singers, actors and other professional performance practitioners. What’s the right song for me? Which microphone should I buy? How do I cope with asthma? Eating do’s and don’ts for singers? Can I overcome my stage-fright? What to wear to an audition? How does air travel affect my voice? These pills won’t harm my voice, will they?

Pat Wilson’s Repertoire QuickLists: Music Theatre Songs for Children and Young People
by Pat Wilson
This is a resource book designed to help anyone who wants to find appropriate music theatre solos for younger performers. It does not pretend to be comprehensive; I admit to reflecting my own preferences and interests in this selections, while listing from several readily-available anthologies as well.
