"This book..is an attempt to show the reader how to gain a beautiful voice together with a new physical alacrity through constant awareness of fundamental principles of body mechanics. The task is not easy, in fact, it is without any promise whatever, unless one assumes in advance that the problem of the voice cannot be solved or even understood by intelligence alone. The mechanics of the body is an essential factor also."--From the Preface to the Second Edition. Good .
