The first comprehensive, fully-illustrated approach to the voice that explains the anatomy and mechanics in detailed yet down-to-earth terms, for voice users and professionals of all kinds This book is the first to explain, in clear and concise language, the anatomy and mechanics of the mysterious and complex bodily system we call the voice. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 detailed images, Anatomy of the Voice guides voice teachers and students, vocal coaches, professional singers and actors, and anyone interested in the voice through the complex landscape of breathing, larynx, throat, face, and jaw. Theodore Dimon, an internationally recognized authority on the subject, as well as an expert in the Alexander Technique, makes unfamiliar terrain accessible and digestible by describing each vocal system in short, manageable sections and explaining complex terminology. The topics he covers include ribs, diaphragm, and muscles of breathing; the intrinsic musculature of the larynx, its structure and action; the suspensory muscles of the throat; the face and jaw; the tongue and palate; and the evolution and function of the larynx. Review: Excellent book - Very informative with great illustrations Review: Superbly explained and illustrated - In every respect, this is a superb book: explanations are clear and succinct, format is highly readable (although I would prefer slightly larger font), illustrations are clearly drawn (although I would prefer slightly darker type, some slight shading, and slightly darker lines). This is a superlative value. A significant, polished, enlarged edition would make for a beautiful coffee table book (provided the written text remain as is; additional writing would defeat the purpose of relaxed repose). Highly recommended!

Also check out Dr. Simon’s book Your Body, Your Voice
Anatomy of the Voice has great illustrations for those more interested in the science of producing sound than just practical technical advise in how to produce it.

Amazing book and value
I learned how to do vibrato from a a video that described how the larynx tips. I’ve learned the feeling to engage or disengage which feels like pulling back or down right at the junction of the neck and chest. I’m learning how to engage or discharge falsetto or chest voice folds separately. This book is a capable radical and fantastic bargain given the printing cost of all the color diagrams.

Beautiful, accurate illustrations of the muscles of the voice system!
This book is better than any other I have come across so far when describing the anatomy of the voice/airway. I am an Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist and I use this all the time to help my patients understand what is going on and what we want to happen in their breathing. Several of my patients have been able to speed up their speech therapy or have improved in their voice lessons after they have worked in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. We must check the function of the muscles and this book helps me do just that.

Extremely well written book both for students and teachers. The book is printed in extremely good quality paper and is full of excellent illustrations. If you're someone who relies on information/diagrams from the internet, this book is just what you need to take it to the next level.

I enjoyed it
As a professional singer I love this book! I really enjoy knowing which muscles are being utilized when and how the body is physically interacting while singing. I think the breakdown of the anatomy is really well done. It’s well written and easily understandable.
