In this innovative book, Theodore Dimon, EdD, shows how each part
of the vocal organ (breathing, larynx, throat, and so on) works as
part of a larger musculoskeletal system that is often interfered
with, and how identifying this larger system and understanding in a
practical way how it works allows a person to train and improve the
voice, whether speaking or singing. Traditional vocal training
methods, says Dimon, cannot be effective without restoring the
functioning of the musculature that supports the voice.
Enhanced with over 50 detailed full-color illustrations, the book
discusses the fallacy of traditional breathing exercises and
explains that the key to efficient breathing lies in the expansive
support of the trunk and rib cage. Investigating the elements
needed to produce a strong supported tone, Dimon describes the
importance of voice "placement," or directing the sound to a part
of the body in order to produce a fully rounded, resonant tone. He
identifies harmful patterns of speech and singing, and offers
helpful methods for reestablishing the natural function of the
vocal mechanism. Individual chapters cover elements of the
whispered "ah," producing a pure sung tone, vocal registers, the
suspensory muscles of the larynx, and more.
In 'The Body In Motion', Theodore Dimon confronts a simple yet
crucial task: to make sense of our amazing design. This guide shows
the functions and evolution of specific body systems, explaining
how they cooperate to form an upright, intelligent, tool-making
marvel, capable of great technological and artistic achievement.
