What is the aim or goal of your writing: I am a vocal health specialist and professor. My background is performing and directing opera. This book came out of spending 3 years in clinic and surgery with voice surgeon, Dr. Arick Forrest. I present on vocal health for singers of all ages, actors, choral conductors, and educators as well as for interdisciplinary audiences that include broadcasting, speech-language pathology, nursing and medical students. I teach pedagogy, language diction, and present on neuromusculoskeletal disorders in musicians as well.
