Althought there are numerous books dealing with the science and acoustics of speech, there are relatively few that deal with the singing voice as distinct from the speaking voice. Now, Johan Sundberg's The Science of the Singing Voice—illustrated with over a hundred instructive and significant diagrams and drawings—thoroughly describes the structure and functions of the vocal organs in singing, from the aerodynamics of respiration through the dynamics of articulation.

"Looking at voice science from the practitioner's viewpoint, Singing and Science: Body, Brain and Voice is a comprehensive book for all those interested in how the singing voice works. It has application to singers, teachers of singing, music educators, choral conductors, voice scientists, and speech-language pathologists and physical therapists working with singers. The title reflects a major change since the first edition of Singing and Voice Science in 2000. That is that new technology has facilitated neuroscience research, making available information on the role of brain and mind in music learning, in language, and in psychomotor learning and performance. The text explores modern voice science and scientific findings in the context of musical concerns of the singer. Modern scientific knowledge of the mechanics of the vocal instrument allows what is heard to be associated with specific physical co-ordinations as well as providing a basis for teaching technical skills, for diagnosing and correcting vocal faults, and for ensuring efficient voice production. This science is put into an applicable body of information under familiar terms, such as breath management, phonation, resonance and articulation, and vocal health. The text also examines the relationship between music and language and how singers approach conveying both linguistic and musical meanings. The growing knowledge in the fields of neuroscience and cognition is applied to how the singer works as a musical instrument, in terms of embodying the technical aspects of voice in a holistic way capable of conveying musical, linguistic and emotional meanings to an audience. This informs an efficient approach to teaching and learning" -- Publisher website.

"If you can speak, you can sing." In this must-read book for anyone looking to learn more about their voice, Richard Fink IV shows how singers, from beginners to seasoned professionals, can reach their full potential through a scientific lens. Drawing from his own experiences of overcoming obstacles and learning how to sing, Richard, a now celebrated singing teacher and Guinness World Record holder as a vocalist, breaks down the only vocal methodology in history to receive a US Patent, the Throga® Technique. In the 7 Dimensions of Singing, readers are taken on a journey through vocal anatomy, accelerated skill training, self-diagnostics and customizable solutions. Readers can also explore chapter exercises first-hand by jumping online to download audio examples and practice tracks. Throughout the book, Richard brilliantly weaves the coordination of complex physiological structures into simple concepts, by comparing them to everyday activities, along with dynamic examples of real-world applications from Throga students, from performing on the streets of Sydney, Australia, to nervously waiting backstage at Radio City Music Hall in New York and defying the odds with a life-threatening lung disease. The 7 Dimensions of Singing (The Throga® Technique) is essential for singers of all ages, styles, and skill levels, helping to connect the mind (the singer) and the body (the instrument) through awareness and mindful-practice.
