From the Preface by the author: The loss of a voice is a traumatic event. My clients experience many emotions ranging from sadness at the beginning of treatment to pleasure and even delight at the end. They?ve told me during the last appointment, ?Oh, it?s such a joy to have a good voice again.? That statement is my reward, and it can be yours, too. Let?s Talk Voice is not intended to be a textbook on voice disorders; rather, it is based on questions that clients, speech- language pathologists, and teachers of singing and acting have asked me. I wanted to convey this feeling of immediacy, so I?ve chosen a format in which I?ve imagined that you and I are just talking about the voice. Of course, you can?t gain expertise by just reading a book, but theory always precedes practice. Perhaps it will be helpful if you know a little about my background and experience with voice and speech. No writing or highlighting. Little shelf wear, nice copy.
