A Systematic Approach to Voice: The Art of Studio ApplicationA Systematic Approach to Voice: The Art of Studio Application is a professional resource presenting a framework for the integration of science-informed principles of voice production and pedagogical application in the training of singers. Author Dr. Kari Ragan has spent years using this organizational template of the five voice systems?respiration, phonation, registration, articulation, and resonance?to identify technical challenges and design corrective vocal exercises in order to facilitate efficient singing.
Each of the voice system chapters contains a brief overview of the mechanics as well as key points for teachers, or ?teacher takeaways.? The book?s core offering is vocal exercises which, framed within a systematic approach, provide strategies for the art of studio application. The intent is an approach that leads to technically proficient singing working in service of great artistry.
