Joanna Cazden is widely respected in the voice community for her clinical expertise and generous, holistic approach. She makes complex voice science understandable and immediately usable for performers, educators, and clinicians alike. I assign her book to my introductory performing arts students who consistently value its clarity and usefulness. -- Rockford Sansom * Associate Professor of Voice & Speech, Louisiana State University * This new edition brings Joanna Cazden’s unique perspective to the attention of a wider audience. The book is essential reading for any voice user, dealing with maintenance and prevention, as well as strategies for the times when all is not well. Understanding your own voice, and its possibilities and limitations, is so much easier with the guidance in this wonderful book. -- Jenevora Williams * Director of Vocal Health Education *
