Lyric diction is a portal to powerful and meaningful vocal
performance because diction enables singers to communicate the
vision of both the poet and the composer. The study of diction
involves learning to perceive speech patterns in different
languages, practicing their precise articulation, recognizing this
in speech and singing, and developing an awareness of the refined
movements of the articulators and their effects on singing tone. In
the second edition of English and German Diction for Singers,
Amanda Johnston continues her comparative, modernized approach to
lyric diction. This comprehensive resource offers a thorough
analysis of the German and English languages and includes extensive
oral drills, word lists, tables, charts, musical examples, and even
tongue twisters. Unique to this publication is the illustration of
the rhythmic timing and release of consonants within the
International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions in all musical
examples. This book is designed for both undergraduate and graduate
courses in German and English lyric diction and is an invaluable
resource for classical singers, vocal coaches, and voice teachers
alike. Improvements to the second edition include: *An online
workbook that includes extensive written exercises suitable for
classroom or independent use *Chapter-by-chapter video clips that
demonstrate the concepts addressed in the text *Expanded chapters
address the schwa, the treatment of monosyllabic incidental words,
the use of R, and the correct formation of the elusive upsilon and
extended epsilon *Consideration of loan words and stressed vs.
unstressed closed German vowels *Integrated practice drills for
mastering challenging and unfamiliar phonemes *Enlarged musical
examples show the rhythmic timing and release of voiced and
voiceless consonants *An expanded appendix on suggested repertoire
for diction study *Inclusion of specific diction choices suitable
for musical theatre repertoire *Expanded discussion of healthy
glottal onsets, including the concept of juncture *Use of the
latest resources, namely Deutsche Rechtschreibung (2014) and

Aimed at fashion designers, Fabric for Fashion:The Complete Guide
is unique in explaining the behaviour, properties and
sustainability impacts of a wide range of natural and man-made

fabric choices affect our planet and its inhabitants. The most
successful fashion designers are those who truly understand their
materials, who match design skill with technical knowledge. This
book offers guidance by providing a mix of practical information,
including industry vocabulary, and a wealth of stunning visual
examples showing how designers, both past and present, have worked
with textiles. Highlights of this new edition include additional
chapters on: - Sustainable fabrics and fashion - Smart fabrics -
Product development - Biosynthetic fibres
