Foreword
This 5th Edition of Dynamics of the Singing Voice represents an amalgamation of the new and the old. The most dramatic changes are the first four chapters, which point to many possible new directions in this century. The sections on vocal anatomy have only minor changes because the anatomy has not changed. Our understanding of function has evolved, but as of yet, not as much as we would like. For this reason, a Chapter 12, Research in Singing was written. The advent of the Internet brought the world to everyone, as almost anything you want to know can be found there. It is easy to be a scholar now—just ask any of the search engines. For this reason, the old, vast bibliography has been updated and trimmed. When the original book was written, there were no comprehensive bibliographies for singers to study and it was done as a service. Now there are so many excellent texts with huge numbers of references by Sataloff, Titze, Sundberg, and many others. As a help to all those singers who struggle with the science and anatomy, Study Outlines for Vocal Anatomy have been included in the appendices. These were originally written for my vocal anatomy courses. The book emphasizes vocal anatomy with little attention being given to acoustics. There are excellent treatices on acoustics by Titze, Sundberg, Howard and others who know far more than I in this area. Over the years of the publication of this book, much has changed; and that includes the author. I apologize if the writing style is slightly different in the new and old sections.
