Not all the tips, videos and resources will be helpful for everyone, and there are some things regarding pronunciation that I don't agree with, but overall I think it's a helpful presentation that will assist almost everyone in improving their singing in one way or another.
I encourage you to spend time going through the videos and other resources at your own pace. You don't have to view the videos and resources sequentially; you can jump around, explore and take your time. There is no expiration date for accessing the resources.
