Scientific knowledge of vocal acoustics has grown exponentially in the last eighty years. With sophisticated yet inexpensive sound analysis technology, more voice teachers are curious about the value of vocal acoustics for the studio and see the need to understand it for more efficient, scientifically informed pedagogy.

Kenneth Bozeman distills the most important vocal acoustics principles and insights for contemporary teachers and singers. With concise and easy-to-understand language, the book takes these complex concepts and imparts practical tips and strategies that anyone can use in their teaching and singing. Unlike many other singing texts, this book approaches the voice exclusively as an acoustic phenomenon.

Bozeman addresses a myriad of topics including:

Harmonics and theories of vocal resonance Formants and their interaction with harmonics Vocal registration Passaggio training Tube acoustics and their pedagogic implications The acoustics of belting Vocal acoustic technology useful for the studio

Also included are hands-on exercises to illustrate concepts.
