A thorough yet accessible guide for all who want to keep our voices healthy. Joanna Cazden's expertise and philosophy provide a reliable path for maintaining good vocal health. Wonderful…clear and articulate. Thanks for writing a practical, non-wow-you-with-techno-babble book for people like me. It will be a permanent resource on my book shelf. My students found this book easy to read and extremely useful. The information helped them stay vocally healthy in a long run of a three hour show. An easy, quick read, full of wonderful, practical ideas and suggestions, interspersed with thought provoking quotes. Thanks Joanna for writing a great little handbook!!
