The Science of the Singing Voice

Johan Sundberg

Open publisher page 664 citations

Abstract

Althought there are numerous books dealing with the science and acoustics of speech, there are relatively few that deal with the singing voice as distinct from the speaking voice. Now, Johan Sundberg's The Science of the Singing Voice illustrated with over a hundred instructive and significant diagrams and drawings thoroughly describes the structure and functions of the vocal organs in singing, from the aerodynamics of respiration through the dynamics of articulation.
