For singers, voice teachers, vocal coaches, and choral conductors, Malde (voice and vocal pedagogy, U. of Northern Colorado) et al. focus on anatomy and physiology to explain how body mapping can help singers improve their performance, tone quality, and expressiveness. They describe how to mentally represent the body's size, structure, and function and correct or refine these body maps, kinesthetically perceive the body, and be aware of the inner and outer experience. They discuss the best movements for singing, the core of the body, and the places of balance; mapping breathing; mapping the larynx for singing; resonance and the vocal tract; mapping the structures of articulation, including the tongue, jaw, soft palate, teeth, and lips; and tools for physical expression. An appendix addresses performance anxiety. This edition has revisions and additions to all chapters, new breathing illustrations and exercises, and a glossary.
