I purchased this book for my voice studio class, but the information is helpful to anyone who uses his or her voice for a living. The author includes simple exercises (breathing, visualizing, posture, etc) that benefit greatly. It has helped me learn more about my voice, and I recommend it to all who want to take care of their voice.
Dr.Dayme is a pioneer in voice science and pedagogy, Performers Voice is the culmination of her academic texts and experience as a voice professional, written in an accessible and engaging style. There are many, many practical applications and insightful observations. I recommend it to all of my voice students.
I am a vocal student and this book was required reading. My instructor is a working classical musician and I trust she is feeding me very, very excellent information.
