Now in its second edition, A Handbook of Diction for Singers is a complete guide to achieving professional levels of diction in Italian, German, and French, the three major languages of the classical vocal repertory. Written for English-speaking singers and offering thorough, consistent explanations, it is an ideal tool for students and an invaluable reference for voice teachers, vocal coaches, and conductors. The book combines traditional approaches proven successful in the teaching of diction with important new material not readily available elsewhere, presenting the sounds of each language in logical order, along with essential information on matters such as diacritical marks, syllabification, word stress, and effective use of the variety of foreign-language dictionaries. Presented in an attractively concise format, the book goes into greater detail than comparable texts, providing specific information to clarify concepts typically difficult for English-speaking singers. Particular emphasis is placed on the characteristics of vowel length, the sequencing of sounds between words, as well as the differences between spoken and sung sounds in all three languages. Featuring significantly expanded coverage of each of the three languages and illustrated with numerous examples, this second edition of A Handbook of Diction for Singers is an exceptional text for courses in diction and a valuable reference source for all vocalists.

Your voice is the uninhibited sound of who and Whose you are. You belong to the Father. Creation is yearning on tiptoe for the sound of sons and daughters to erupt on the earth (Romans 8:19). In The War on Your Voice, Jenn Stockman addresses how shame, fear, abuse and so much more act as lids to silence your voice. *Break through every lid from a deep intimacy with the Father. *Discover the inexhaustible beauty of Jesus and all He won in the only story where your voice has the leading role, your story. "Hiding in the pages of The War On Your Voice is a personal tour guide. Be prepared to find riches and glory beyond your wildest imagination that God is so thrilled to give you as you follow the guidance of a masterful writer." Danny Silk/ Senior Leader Teams, Bethel Redding & Jesus Culture Sacramento "I was moved to tears not just by Jenn's writing but by the Weighty Presence that accompanies her words. The War On Your Voice is not just another book on freedom, it is an impartation." Wendy Backlund/ Author of Victorious Emotions "The War On Your Voice is a must read for anyone desiring to personally experience the exhilaration of a life fully lived!" Leif Hetland/ President of Global Missions Awareness Jenn Stockman lives near Atlanta, Georgia with her husband Justin and their four daughters Kylie, Ava, Arabelle and Liberty. She teaches regularly at Bethel Atlanta and is on staff as the First Year Director of Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry. INTRODUCTION I wrote this book out on my back porch during the early summer mornings. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I laughed. I cried. I shook. I felt undone and intoxicated by the nearness of Jesus as I typed and typed. I told the whole story like a drunk person who's lost every sense of self-awareness and self-restraint. I held nothing back, without a care. I read this great quote in the process, "To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard." I forgot about having it heard and wrote for Him and in Him. I fell in love with the process. The writing became my most intimate worship. I wrote for Him and now I give it to you. I believe in your voice. Not just the ability to speak words from your mouth, but the sound of who and Whose you are through the whole of your story. I see an army of sons and daughters arising in their authority and bending down low enough in their humility to whisper in the ear of a hurting generation about a relentless, eternal Hope. Jesus loves to live with dirt on His knees and who can resist wanting to be with Him where He is. Humility is telling the real story - nothing more, nothing less. Shame is terrified that we would live loud the beauty of Christ within us without restraint, naked and unashamed. Every morning when you wake up, your enemy is tormented by the sound of who you are. He's in the corner holding his breath with anxiety, knowing today could be the day you live the truth of Whom you belong to. I pray your life gives him a panic attack as you open wide the door to feast with King Jesus, having nothing to hide through the whole of your story. With all my love, Jenn

Singing and the Actor takes the reader step by step through a practical training programme relevant to the modern singing actor and dancer. A variety of contemporary voice qualities including Belting and Twang are explained, with excercises for each topic.

Aspiring to be the fastest sprinter on his elite middle school's track team, gifted runner Ghost finds his goal challenged by a tragic past with a violent father.

In the contemporary world, voices are caught up in fundamentally different realms of discourse, practice, and culture: between sounding and nonsounding, material and nonmaterial, literal and metaphorical. In The Voice as Something More, Martha Feldman and Judith T. Zeitlin tackle these paradoxes with a bold and rigorous collection of essays that look at voice as both object of desire and material object. Using Mladen Dolar’s influential A Voice and Nothing More as a reference point, The Voice as Something More reorients Dolar’s psychoanalytic analysis around the material dimensions of voices—their physicality and timbre, the fleshiness of their mechanisms, the veils that hide them, and the devices that enhance and distort them. Throughout, the essays put the body back in voice. Ending with a new essay by Dolar that offers reflections on these vocal aesthetics and paradoxes, this authoritative, multidisciplinary collection, ranging from Europe and the Americas to East Asia, from classics and music to film and literature, will serve as an essential entry point for scholars and students who are thinking toward materiality.

In this international bestseller, father and advocate for Autism awareness Arthur Fleischmann blends his daughter Carly’s own words with his story of getting to know his remarkable daughter—after years of believing that she was unable to understand or communicate with him. At the age of two, Carly Fleischmann was diagnosed with severe autism and an oral motor condition that prevented her from speaking. Doctors predicted that she would never intellectually develop beyond the abilities of a small child. Carly remained largely unreachable through the years. Then, at the age of ten, she had a breakthrough. While working with her devoted therapists, Carly reached over to their laptop and typed “HELP TEETH HURT,” much to everyone’s astonishment. Although Carly still struggles with all the symptoms of autism, she now has regular, witty, and profound conversations on the computer with her family and her many thousands of supporters online. One of the first books to explore firsthand the challenges of living with autism, Carly’s Voice brings readers inside a once-secret world in the company of an inspiring young woman who has found her voice and her mission

International bestseller The Break is the first in Katherena Vermette's heart-rending, utterly immersive Indigenous family saga that includes The Strangers and The Circle. When Stella, a young Mé tis mother, looks out her window one evening and spots someone in trouble on the Break — a barren field on an isolated strip of land outside her house — she calls the police to alert them to a possible crime. But when they arrive, no one is there; scuff marks in the compacted snow are the only sign anything may have happened. In a series of shifting narratives, people who are connected, both directly and indirectly, with the victim — police, family, and friends — tell their personal stories leading up to that fateful night. Lou, a social worker, grapples with the departure of her live-in boyfriend. Cheryl, an artist, mourns the premature death of her sister Rain. Paulina, a single mother, struggles to trust her new partner. Phoenix, a homeless teenager, is released from a youth detention centre. Officer Scott, a Mé tis policeman, feels caught between two worlds as he patrols the city. Through their various perspectives a larger, more comprehensive story about lives of the residents in Winnipeg' s North End is exposed.

Decibella is a loud talker. A really loud talker. She’s so loud, she’s hurting ears, startling wait staff, disrupting classmates, and annoying moviegoers. She doesn’t realize different environments and situations sometimes demand a softer, quieter voice. That is until a caring teacher introduces her to the silly-sounding word “Slurpadoodle” and the five volumes of voice (Whisper, 6-inch, Table Talk, Strong Speaker, and Outside).
