Summary | "The Voice: Its Production, Care and Preservation" by Frank E. Miller is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the physiology and psychology behind effective voice production, specifically aimed at singers and vocal instructors. With a blend of anatomical knowledge and practical experience in singing, the author discusses methods for achieving optimal vocal performance and maintaining vocal health. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the foundational principles of vocalization, emphasizing the necessity of understanding both physiological mechanics and psychological influences in voice production. Dr. Miller argues that voice is a product of intricate physiological action combined with a singer's emotional expression and mental conception of sound. He contrasts outdated teaching methodologies with a modern approach that considers the complexity of vocal mechanics, necessitating a competent vocal instructor who can adapt their teaching to individual needs. Through this introductory framework, the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of effective breathing techniques, the anatomy of the vocal apparatus, and the interplay between physical and psychological elements essential for mastering the art of singing.
