"With a focus on "securing" the technical stability of the male voice, this book offers practical advice to students, their teachers, and professional performers, through numerous practical exercises and repertoire suggestions appropriate to various stages of development. Author Richard Miller synthesizes historic vocal pedagogy with the latest research on the singing voice, always emphasizing the special nature of the male voice and the proper physiological functioning for vocal proficiency. A guide to male low voices, this book is a text for performers, aspiring performers, and instructors alike."--BOOK JACKET.
