I strongly recommend the below for pure practical instructions, exercises, and demonstrations from beginner to expert

- As far as I know nowadays muscle training is recommended against due to it being dangerous and bad-habit forming.
  
  I don't understand, this is literally what I've seen a bunch of other training guides say, working on raising your larynx, being aware of the sounds your mouth and throat make, and slowly raising your vocal range. What's the difference between this and the other guides?
  
  I swear I'm about to have a breakdown, this is literally the only guide that's straightforward and tells you what to do instead of giving you 15000 word essays on resonance and how pitch isn't that important without actually telling you how to change your voice.
Just in time for me to start using my target voice again, this will all make fantastic revision!
This is a lot of stuff! Thanks for posting, I'll look through this when I can.
