Care of the Professional Voice is an introductory, practical guide to caring for the professional voice, whether it is used for public speaking, drama or any kind of singing. It is designed to be accessible to those who can use, or train others to use, their voices professionally and should be useful to clinicians caring for patients. The book aims to help promote a good, general understanding of the conditions that affect vocal performance, types of diseases and their therapy. It should also help students embarking on a career to nurture and get the best out of their vocal skills.
