About this title

Review:

Doody Enterprises, Inc.: "* * * * Four stars from Doody's Review Service! [First Edition]" Lynn Helding, Journal of Singing, (2009): "Someone has finally done it: written 'Voice Science for the Non-Scientific (Yet Nevertheless Intelligent) Person'... Both the set up scheme and graphic features of this book should guarantee its use by many different populations within the larger community of voice studies, for these allow the reader to navigate quickly to topics of interest without having to wade through clinical or technical language to get there. [Refers to First Edition]"
