ABOUT THE BOOK

Heavily referenced, this text is ripe with current research on singing science as it relates to the CCM voice. In addition to general singing science, The Vocal Athlete ithe first book of its kind to address the unique vocal and physiologic demands of commercial singing from a sound scientific and pedagogical standpoint.
