Publisher's Synopsis
To be in the way, or to be out of the way, that is the question. Voice users and scientists alike agree that the tongue is a crucial part in singing. Yet, there has been no literature published that soley addresses the tongue and its acoustical influence in the context of technique. This book finally answers the question which has plagued voice users: how does the tongue affect my singing and how can I manipulate it for my purpose? By combining voice pedagogy with vocal science, Angelika Nair breaks down the mysteries of the tongue and its effect on consonant production for a fascinating new take on the human voice.
