EVERYDAY VOICE CARE: THE LIFESTYLE GUIDE FOR SINGERS AND TALKERS |
|
This book updates and expands on my 2007 title "How to Take Care of Your Voice," which the Voice and Speech Review called "a must-have for anyone with a voice." Neither a dry medical text nor a florid vocal arts method, it covers practicalities from cold symptoms to cell-phones, loud parties to lozenges, warm-up routines to warning signs & when to see a doctor. "Clear and articulate," said Lis Lewis of American Rock Star; "looks like an excellent addition to the literature" - Robert M. Sataloff, the Voice Foundation.
