Overview
This book provides a focused approach to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disorders in professional vocalists and singers. Its content is dense enough to be of value to the otolaryngologist or speech-language pathologist with an interest in expanding their voice practice, but written in a straightforward style that allows singers and vocal coaches to gain valuable insights.Oriented toward the clinical aspects of what happens when a singer or actor presents for treatment of a voice problem, the contributors address the anatomy, physiology and neurology of the vocal mechanism to orient both practitioners and patients in the correct management style rather than in the exact details of management of voice disorders. Thus, this book teaches the practitioners and clinicians what they must know to provide state of the art treatment for professional singers and actors and educates professional voice users in what to look for when seeking the best treatment.
The text is highlighted with helpful tables, charts, and illustrations and provides a practical approach for successful treatment and management of this group of professional voice users.
