The technical aspects of singing are discussed in detail, giving the singer the tools to apply this technique to a wide variety of repertoire and languages. This text provides the essential information regarding anatomic and physiologic functions connected with the speaking and singing process so that singers will learn to develop their technique fully and thus maintain optimal technical skill and vocal health throughout a long singing and/or teaching career. Because it is so comprehensive, including anatomy, posture, breath management, physiology of tone production, achieving resonance, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), classification of voices, health care for singers, a logical method for learning repertoire, stage deportment, and technology in the voice studio, it is also an excellent book for teaching vocal pedagogy.
As such, it is the ideal text for voice classes and lessons at the university level as well as for voice lessons in the independent studio. Vocal Technique: A Physiologic Approach, Second Edition builds upon the premise firmly established in its first edition - a singer who understands how his or her body functions when speaking and singing will necessarily be a better singer and teacher of singing.
