Produktbeschreibung

The Voice is a multi - media book meant to inspire curiosity, appreciation, understanding and wonder about the amazing human voice. The text and various internet links provide a lively way of approaching the subject - you will be able to peer down the throats of singers as they perform, hear opera singers, rock stars, musical theater singers, yodelers, beat-boxers, throat singers (overtone singers) and more. Straight-forward explanations by the author along with diverse video and information links make discovery entertaining. It sheds light on how the voice functions and examines various vocal traditions to gain a better understanding of this magnificent instrument and how it works to create the sounds we hear. The most often asked questions related to singing are examined - for example, how does the voice work? What do the vocal cords do, and what do they look like? Why do opera singers sound so different from pop singers and how is it that they can be heard without using a microphone? How do overtone singers produce more than one pitch at a time? What is the difference between a soprano and a mezzo-soprano? These questions and many others will be answered. This is not a book on vocal technique, but there are some excerpts and tutorials on certain vocal styles. Singers, aspiring singers or fans of the voice will find many treasures and a host of information in this little book. Audio version read by the author is also included.
