ABOUT THE BOOK
Each type of performer, whether singer, voiceover artists,
dancer/singers, instrumentalist/singers, brings specific issues to the
voice treatment team and requires special individual attention from
the various members of the team, from laryngologist to speech
pathologist, singing or voice teacher.
The Singer's Voice identifies these individuals, presents reports on
cases with special needs and offers myriad solutions that help to
preserve the voice and prevent further damage. It is written by a
world-leading group of dedicated professionals from an array of
disciplines related to the care and treatment of individuals who use
their voices in professional settings. Ranging from current day
performers to choral conductors to past rock and roll musicians, all
contributors have shown a dedication to the care of the singer and
performer through their studios, academic training, their research
interests and experience, and their clinical and/or their performance
background.
The content is thoroughly practical and written to be accessible to a
wide range of voice professionals, particularly singing and voice
teachers; instructors in the various performing arts; those who
provide medical and allied health care; and, indeed, performers and
students themselves.
