Pronunciation for Singers (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book endeavors to teach clear and accurate pronunciation when singing in both solo and choral contexts. The author emphasizes the distinctiveness of singing when compared to speaking and lays a path for singers to overcome challenges when moving between the two. The book contrasts singing and speaking in terms of compass, pitch, use of breath, and musical qualities of tone. It introduces the reader to visual diagrams of the positions of the speech organs for English sounds and provides tables with systematic arrangements of speech sounds in English, German, Italian, and French. The author includes a collection of useful exercises to illustrate the primary points of the book and explores the different ways that vowels and consonants are used across various languages. This book is an excellent resource for singers, choirs, voice teachers, and anyone interested in the techniques of singing and pronunciation.
