This classic book provides singers and teachers with a scientifically exact basis from which to work directly and objectively on the physical elements responsible for the production of the singing voice.

Mankind is meant to sing and has the instrument with which to do so.

  • Of what does it consist?
  • What happens physically when a voice sounds high, round, full?
  • What makes a voice carry?
  • What are registers in reality?
  • What does 'placing' the voice mean in fact?
  • Why should a hitherto steady voice develop an uncontrollable tremor or high notes suddenly become inaccessible?

'As a laryngologist who has been fortunate enough to have had considerable experience and interest in the well-being of singers and in voice production, I welcome the publication of this book.
It is the product of years of work by the authors who have sifted and correlated the findings of the various branches of science involved. The result is logical, objective and practical, and it should prove a standard textbook for teachers of singing and all potential singers. It will be of great value to all doctors who are interested in this branch of medicine'
