Synopsis

The Vocal Athlete< and the companion book The Vocal Athlete: Application and Technique for the Hybrid Singer are written and designed to bridge the gap between the art of contemporary commercial music (CCM) singing and the science behind voice production in this ever-growing popular vocal style. This book is a must have for the speech pathologist, singing voice specialist, and vocal pedagogue. Heavily referenced, this text is ripe with current research on singing science as it relates to the CCM voice.

About this title

Review:

"With the publication of The Vocal Athlete, singers and voice teachers now have access to a remarkable, unprecedented collection of resources. The breadth and comprehensiveness of this two-volume set are remarkable - The phenomenon of the "hybrid singer" has led to the proliferation of a "hybrid teacher" - Early responses suggest that this kind of teacher will find "The Vocal Athlete" to be an incredibly valuable resource, a compendium of some of the best and most current thinking in the field, complemented by a thoughtful review of the scientific literature. - [The companion] workbook and CD provide both teachers and students with the opportunity to explore some of the best practices of the world's top pedagogues..." --Charlie Gilbert, The SAVI Singing Actor (9/8/2014)
