Lebendige Stimme

Tried and tested in practice, this textbook is aimed at all those dealing with the training of one's own voice or of the voices of other persons on an elementary level – be it in the field of education, music, acting or therapy. Anneliese Riesch sees tone and sound as a phenomenon which needs to be examined mainly intellectually. Written in an easily understood language, the chapters on breathing, articulation, tonal range, interpretation and register are complemented by numerous illustrations. The work is completed by exercises with music and text examples.

This textbook for the cultivation of the speaking and singing voice was revised on the basis of unpublished notes left by the author and is now available in a new updated version.
