Style in Singing is a manual on the art of vocal interpretation by W. E. Haslam, concerned less with the mechanics of voice production than with the taste, phrasing, and expression that mark a finished artist. Haslam considers how a singer shapes a song into a convincing whole.

The book treats matters of diction, ornament, rhythm, and the communication of feeling, drawing on the practice of accomplished performers. Aimed at students who have mastered the basics and wish to refine their delivery, it belongs to the rich literature of vocal pedagogy from the era. Singers seeking guidance on interpretation will find it a thoughtful and practical companion.
