Synopsis English and German Diction for Singers by : Amanda Johnston
Often underestimated, lyric diction is a portal to powerful performance. It is through lyric diction that singers are able to communicate the wishes and desires of the poet, as well as the composer. Amanda Johnston takes a modernized approach in English and German Diction for Singers, making German increasingly accessible through the recognition that English and German are related languages, and thus have many things in common with regard to lyric diction. This comprehensive resource includes a thorough analysis of the German and English languages, as well as lists, tables, charts, musical examples, and even tongue twisters. Designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses in German and English lyric diction, this book is an invaluable resource for classical singers, vocal coaches, and voice teachers alike.

Synopsis Singing American English: Textbook for Diction for Singers by : John Blizzard
Singing American English helps singers, teachers, and directors to negotiate the many difficulties involved in singing beautiful American English. Designed for use in diction for singers classes, this book is the fruit of more than a quarter-century of teaching by Dr. John T. Blizzard. Now in its second edition, Singing American English is useful also as both a reference and a workbook, full of drills designed for the student to master new information. Readers will learn how to use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as a guide to their understanding, singing, and hearing. Chapters include discussions of the International Phonetic Alphabet, vowels and consonants, diphthongs, triphthongs, glides, and several articles on the relationship of diction to many facets of the performance of songs and arias. Students learn about the concept of the Hellwag Triangle, which, the author states, may be the most important chapter in the entire textbook in terms of their own singing.

Synopsis English Diction for Singers and Speakers by : Louis Arthur Russell
Excerpt from English Diction for Singers and Speakers While this book is put forth by the author especially for the guidance of singers, it is also intended to meet the needs of public speakers, and, in fact, all who pretend to refined or artistic use of the English language. No one who listens to the average singer and public speaker can doubt the need of more careful culture in the art of enunciation; for the concert platform, the lyceum, and the pulpit are constantly giving evidence of a pitiful lack of appreciation of the orthoepic beauty and strength of our language. It is to the discredit of Americans that of all people pretending to art and literature, we are the most careless in our speech. If our American singers, to say nothing of public speakers, would realize the beauty of correct "speech," and study English diction as faithfully as they do their Italian, French, or German, it would not be long before a justifiable pride in our beautiful, varied, elastic, and powerful language would ensue, and a new era in vocal art be established here. To enter into a discussion of diction for singers and public speakers is a serious thing, and the author is well aware that no written treatment of the subject will prove sufficient for the student; the proper study of diction really requiring a personal instructor who is an expert orthoepist, as well as a singer. If then, in this essay a clear course be shown the student, that he can pursue his study of "language in song" with a better understanding of its many-sided difficulties, and with a true method of practice, the book will accomplish all that may be hoped for it.
