One exercise, one minute, one new voice... In Raise Your Voice 2: The Advanced Manual, glass-shattering vocal coach Jaime Vendera unveils his most innovative exercise designed to explode a singer's voice beyond their potential. The "Ultimate Isolation Exercise" is comprised of a six-exercise stack, which takes approximately one minute per pitch. By stacking Jaime's top warm up and workout exercises, the vocal muscles are strengthened in a unique manner to assure increased vocal range, power, improved tonal quality, and stamina, while cutting practice time by as much as two-thirds. This book is NOT for the beginner, and should only be attempted by dedicated Raise Your Voice students! As well, Jaime revisits key components of his RYV methodology and introduces advanced students to new muscle building concepts and warm ups/ cool downs, including "stair-stepping" exercises, Vocal Stage Prep, and the Voice & Body Cool Down. For those yearning to enhance their vocal potential in minimal time, and go beyond their plateau, RYV2 is the answer!

Terri is a small-town girl with a big-time dream -- and the talent to make it come true. A young musical prodigy, she lives to sing and write music. Her dream comes true the day she is accepted to attend a summer program at Bristol-Hillman, a prestigious music school in Los Angeles. But Bristol-Hillman is another world. Miles away from her small town, the pressure is high, the competition is fierce, and friends are hard to find. Between a cranky roommate, a collective cold shoulder from the other students, and a big crush on troubled Jay, Terri feels out of place and even begins to doubt her own talents. Can Terri find the confidence to raise her voice?

Twelve stories of protests and marches--and the people, movements, and moments behind them--that shaped our country's history, told by the bestselling author of Apollo 13! Perfect for today's young activists. Rise up! Speak out! March! Protests and demonstrations have spread throughout the United States in recent years. They have pushed for change on women's rights, racial equality, climate change, gun control, LGBTQI+ rights, and more. And while these marches may seem like a new phenomenon, they are really the continuation of a long line of Americans taking to their feet and raising their voices to cry out for justice. From the Boston Tea Party to the suffragists, from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to Stonewall, peaceful (and not-so-peaceful) protest has been a means of speaking up and enacting change from the very founding of America. This new collection recounts twelve of the major protests throughout the country's history, detailing the people behind them, the causes they marched for, and the impact they had. From the award-winning and bestselling author of Apollo 13 comes a book perfect for today's new generation of activists.
