Объедините опыт Дика с опытом режиссеров Бена Сполдинга и Броди Макдональда, добавьте предисловие Бена Фолдса и советы таких авторов, как Питер Холленс, и вы получите самый полный том, когда-либо созданный на тему современного пения а капелла.Разделы включают: Подготовка сцены, Собирание группы, Организация, Технология, Создание имени и многое другое.
