About This Book

The volume presents a systematic approach to producing and developing the human voice, combining anatomical description with practical exercises. It examines the vocal apparatus and breathing, outlines breath control and progressive breathing exercises, analyzes registers and resonance (head, nasal, throat, and mouth) and teaches voice placement and avoidance of throat stiffness. Chapters include speaking voice and pronunciation, training methods for singers and orators, and the psychological aspects of vocal culture. Practical guidance and repeated fundamentals aim to help teachers and pupils apply principles to improve tone quality, projection, economy of breath, and expressive control.

[2] Dr. Fillebrown's paper, A Study of the Relation of the Frontal Sinus to the Antrum, was read before the American Dental Association, at Saratoga, August 5, 1895. His investigation showed that the funnel-shaped passage known as the infundibulum extends from the frontal sinus directly into the antrum or maxillary sinus. This was afterwards confirmed by Dr. W.H. Cryer and others.
