Voice: A User's Guide. Anatomy, Physiology, and Biomechanics of the Voice for Vocalists, Teachers, and Speakers

One of Russia's leading specialists, phoniatrist Emil Avetisyan, presents a comprehensive guide to preserving the beauty of your timbre. The author explains how our voice works, why it can disappear, how nodules on the vocal cords arise, and much more. You will learn about various pathologies of the vocal apparatus, age-related features of voice development (both child and adult), and when you need to urgently consult a doctor versus when you can handle problems on your own.

In Dr. Avetisyan's book, you will find practical recommendations for voice hygiene, descriptions of typical mistakes that can harm it, as well as simple exercises to relieve tension from the muscles of the vocal apparatus.

A reference book for anyone whose working tool is the voice.
