Choosing a singer’s voice type is one of the most difficult and important challenges facing today’s voice instructor. This decision affects every aspect of a singer’s development, as no singer can be truly successful with inappropriate repertoire. This volume and its companion for young sopranos and mezzo-sopranos is designed to offer guidance to voice teachers in dealing with hard-to-categorize students. In four concise steps, Eustis outlines a methodology for determining a singer’s voice type: Diagnose the primary technical issues. Observe changes in the sound as technique improves. Understand the psychology of voice type. Use appropriate repertoire to achieve the above goals.
