Description

An invaluable guide in voice work  

The voice is one of the fundamental modes of self-expression, a key touchstone of identity and sense of self. Many people in all walks of life are looking to change their voices, whether to modify a speaking challenge of some kind, to cultivate a professional skill, or for other reasons. Voice practitioners have an invaluable role in guiding clients along the path to their desired voice outcomes. 

Building on the success of the first edition, Voice Work continues to offer a wide-ranging introduction to the repair, improvement, development, and exploration of the spoken and sung voice. Balancing rigorous scholarship with practical insights, the book draws from all major vocal professions and paths within voice work. It offers guidance for developing the voice alongside detailed, up-to-date insights into the work of voice instruction. 

Readers of the second edition of Voice Work will also find: 

  • Numerous new colour illustrations 
  • Extensive reference updates 
  • Original chapters on the history of voice work, public speaking and voice work online 
  • Updated material on voice and emotions, mindfulness and imagery, voice work and well-being, the applications of technology and the value of practitioner supervision 
  • New techniques and exercises 

Voice Work is a valuable resource for spoken voice teachers, singing teachers, and speech and language therapists and pathologists.
