The Ear and the Voice
Tomatis was one of the earliest pioneers in the field now known as psychoacoustics, and his book LOreille et la Voix is considered a classic by many in that field.Although Tomatis initially applied his theories to vocal performance, it soon became clear that the principles he uncovered could also have a profoundly beneficial influence on actors, painters, writers, and those suffering from physical and psychological disabilities. This translation makes Tomatiss discoveries accessible for a broad audience, and is divided into three parts that can be read separately or together. Part I introduces Tomatiss general concepts as they apply to the art of singing. Part II is a basic introduction to the anatomy of the ear and how its functions relate to the brain and the rest of the body. It also provides the reader with a metaphorfree vocabulary for discussing anatomy with doctors and other concerned professionals. Part III gives practical advice on singing, posture, and matters pertaining primarily to musicians. A list of the latest Englishlanguage books on the subject has been appended.The Ear and the Voice is for everyone who wants to understand and experience the benefits of conscious listening.Please visit the authors companion websites: www.vocalimages.com and www.voxmentor.com
