| Summary | "Great Singers on the Art of Singing" by James Francis Cooke is a collection of educational conferences with prominent opera and concert artists, written in the early 20th century. This work provides insights from some of the most renowned singers of the time, specifically tailored for voice students. Through a series of personal study talks, the book discusses the intricacies of vocal performance, emphasizing both the technical and emotional aspects of singing. The opening of the book sets the stage for an exploration of the art of singing, highlighting the misconception that mere vocal ability guarantees success. Cooke reflects on his own journey and the rich history of vocal training, discussing the essential qualities a singer must possess beyond just a good voice. It underscores the importance of dedication, regular practice, and individual expression, laying the groundwork for the practical advice and experiences shared by legendary artists throughout the text. Additionally, Cooke stresses that artists must cultivate their intellect and emotional depth to connect with audiences authentically, making it clear that singing is as much about communication and art as it is about technique.
