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. * Associate Professor of Voice & Speech, Louisiana State University *
