The life of every singer is a continuous journey toward vocal improvement, enhanced performance, satisfaction, and confidence. Diane Haslam, mezzo-soprano and respected voice teacher for more than two decades, has faced many challenges in her own career and has addressed these, and so much more, in her compelling book The Heart of Singing: Steps on the Path to Becoming the Singer You Want to Be. Whether you are an aspiring singer, a professional, a member of a choir, a soloist, or a voice teacher, this book addresses aspects of singing often overlooked and difficult to address in the voice studio: those myriad characteristics beyond vocal technique that constitute great singing. The author offers insight into: building confidence and eliminating fear; dealing with the internal judge; exploring new ways to address bad habits; becoming fully aware of your vocal potential; and discovering your free, honest voice. You will learn about the power of focus and awareness, commitment and balance, trust and risk, and, along the way, experience the satisfaction and joy this singing journey can bring.

This book is intended for use in a first year voice class at the college or university level. Portions of it may be suitable for a voice class at the high school level, where students are interested and dedicated to learning a strong vocal technical foundation. Many would-be singers are unnecessarily anxious or nervous about singing because they lack experience and guidance. The feeling of anxiety or nervousness can be overcome easily by learning the "how-to's" of vocal production, clearly provided here. But before delving into the "how-to's", Voice Technique lays out the anatomical and physiological functions connected with the speaking and singing processes, so that the reader can hone in on the proper muscles and body parts in developing proper technique. In addition, this knowledge will enable singers to maintain their optimum technical skill and vocal health throughout a long singing, performing, or teaching career. The author then takes the reader clearly through the proper coordination of the four physiological systems (respiration, phonation, articulation, and resonation), in an effort to help create a beautiful tone quality in any aspiring singer. Included are abundant resources including copious diagrams, figures, worksheets, exercises, appendices and specific and practical tips in a chapter titled "Health Concerns for Singers."

A new text with two principal aims: to provide a foundation of anatomical, physiological, acoustical and medical knowledge for students in the belief that one must know how something works before one can alter or repair it, and also to carefully structure the learning of the foundational voice skills necessary for the development of each student's technique beyond the length of a single course. Borrowing from Voice Science but staying firmly centered in the studio or classroom, the text helps the reader with a raw vocal ability understand the function and care of their vocal instrument. In the second part, the book begins a carefully graduated approach in building good singing habits. Three paradigm songs, one in Italian, one in English and one in German, are employed to help the reader practice and guage personal progress.
