Do You Hear What I Hear? is a delightful mixed-bag that makes for interesting reading. It is one part the memoir of a small town California girl who sets her sights on Broadway, and gets there. This journey is described humorously and inspirationally. Another part of the narrative concerns the adventures MARGE RIVINGSTON experiences in those heady days of being in show business and being young in New York.
There is another dimension, and that is the good solid advice the author has for those aspirants of today who dream of the "bright lights". As a voice coach, RIVINGSTON steps up with valuable training methods for expanding, protecting, and projecting the voice in the real world of eight shows a week. Not only are all the exercises explained explicitly in the text, but the book contains a CD for the learner to practice, imitate, and learn.
Do You Hear What I Hear? is a narrative that is a memoir, an inspiration, a "how-to" book that is sometimes sad, serious and often humorous-----but always interesting
