Now in its expanded second edition, Practical Vocal Acoustics continues to offer readers a concise and immediately applicable framework to identify and navigate important acoustical interactions in a singing voice. This is a startlingly direct and accessible take on what might otherwise be a dense and complex subject. Bozemans elegantly insightful work deserves a place on any serious voice teachers bookshelf. -- Ian Howell * Author of Hearing Singing: A Guide to Functional Listening and Voice Perception * Ken Bozeman's new edition further illuminates the science underpinning the current "State of the Art of Voice" in all its glorious complexity. -- Janice Chapman * Professor of Voice, Guildhall School of Music and Drama; Author of Singing and Teaching Singing: A Holistic Approach to Classical Voice * Practical Vocal Acoustics is a cornerstone of acoustic vocal pedagogy, and this new edition only strengthens its place as an essential resource. Few texts manage to be this concise, organized, and immediately useful. And beyond the conceptswhich are worth their weight in goldwhat shines through is Ken Bozemans profound curiosity, his reverence for the art and history of singing, and his unwavering commitment to inclusivity. -- Chadley Ballantyne * Associate Professor of Music, Voice, Stetson University * The second edition of Practical Vocal Acoustics is a welcome addition to the expanding literature on this topic. Like the first edition, it is written in a clear and forthright style which makes voice research not only accessible, but most importantly, immediately applicable for the acoustics-curious pedagogue. -- Lynn Helding * Professor of Vocal Arts and Opera, Coordinator of Voice Pedagogy, University of Southern California; author of The Musicians Mind *
