The Owner's Manual to the Voice provides singers with the knowledge necessary to communicate effectively and in intelligent terms about their instrument, especially when conversing with medical professionals. Beginning with an overview of the vocal anatomy, lead author Rachel Gates, and co-authors L. Arrick Forest, M. D. and Kerri Obert, M. A., C. C. C/S. L. P, proceed through detailed discussions of caring for the voice and common causes of vocal changes and problems before guiding the reader through theprocess of choosing, talking to, and working with an ENT. In so doing, they give insights that any professional voice user - whether singer, actor, broadcaster, politician, teacher, preacher, lawyer, salesperson or telemarketer - will find helpful if not essential. | The Owner's Manual to the Voice by Rachael Gates, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
