In 2017 I self published my book called ‘Shut your Trap and Sing!’
In it I discuss traditional singing techniques as well as a technique called ‘Cuperto’ in which a small mouth space or ‘Semi Occluded Vocal Tract’ is used to great vocal effect. This voice technique has become popular in recent years with the use of straw phonation. My book is available as an e-book on Amazon (link below) and at selected book stores in South Africa.
