About the Book

Voice is FREE after SOVT, consists of Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Principles, Methods, and Training. It is written and designed to appeal to the scientist at heart that is searching for why their methods in vocal performance or as a successful teacher, coach or voice therapist work. Singers, teachers, coaches, ENTs, speech pathologists, research scientists and vocologists will appreciate the comprehensive work done before them and the history and current work being developed and understood to help their clientele and patients even further. It is a must have for trainers, performers and healers as it is heavily referenced with the development of voice science principles. These principles relate to all methods that use semi-occluded vocal tract exercises including the popular method of Straw Phonation popularized and developed extensively by both authors. Their reputation and passion about its development scientifically and its appropriate use in practice is a labor of love and appreciation to all those who give insight. This book also includes a framework for evaluation and training which allows the reader to stimulate and incorporate principles into their own style of teaching and training. This book contains many examples and analogies to further explain and translate difficult scientific principles to others . It will bring the reader into a more complete understanding of the anatomy of the human voice and how it functions and organizes in remarkable detail with more ease and freedom. It also contains brand new imaging, concepts and exploration that will stimulate a desire for more research and greater understanding.

Testimonials

This is such a tremendous contribution to the body of literature for voice! Thank you both for your tireless work on this project. The extensive inclusion of the history and body of research on this subject for each chapter helps me to have a one stop reference. A wonderful analogy.

I read with great interest in your book. It think that it is very nicely written, puts a lot of scientific findings in a truely reader-friendly form, suited for a wide audience. I think that this will be a very useful book for many voice users and clinicians etc. - and it may of course again be a source of further ideas for researchers. It is wonderful that you have made this service for all who are interested in voice!

I believe the foundation of a balanced voice can be developed using SOVT principles, that this foundation sometimes carries over to connected speech without other intervention, and when it doesn’t, you enhance the SOVT principles with RVT speech training.

Clinician, Researcher and Author
I like how it address all aspects because I’ve been to several voice conferences lately where they’ve talked about the straw or doing something different. And the diameter of the straw too! It is definitely something we need out in the voice world. I’ve gotten other textbooks about voice and I like how this is laid out and workable.
