Anatomy of the Voice by Theodore Dimon Jr

Anatomy of the Voice by Theodore Dimon Jr

The first comprehensive, fully-illustrated approach to the voice that explains the anatomy and mechanics in detailed yet down-to-earth terms, for voice users and professionals of all kinds

This book is the first to explain, in clear and concise language, the anatomy and mechanics of the mysterious and complex bodily system we call the voice. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 detailed images, Anatomy of the Voice guides voice teachers and students, vocal coaches, professional singers and actors, and anyone interested in the voice through the complex landscape of breathing, larynx, throat, face, and jaw. Theodore Dimon, an internationally recognized authority on the subject, as well as an expert in the Alexander Technique, makes unfamiliar terrain accessible and digestible by describing each vocal system in short, manageable sections and explaining complex terminology. The topics he covers include ribs, diaphragm, and muscles of breathing; the intrinsic musculature of the larynx, its structure and action; the suspensory muscles of the throat; the face and jaw; the tongue and palate; and the evolution and function of the larynx.

Dr. Theodore (Ted) Dimon, the founder and head of the Dimon Institute in New York City, is a renowned expert in the Alexander Technique as well as an educator and author. In 1987, Dimon received his Master's and Doctorate degrees from Harvard University, where he studied human evolution, comparative anatomy, and educational theory in depth. He uncovered new ideas of how the human person is designed to work and function as a result of his studies, which he combined with his practical hands-on expertise. Dimon has helped tens of thousands of patients overcome chronic musculoskeletal disorders and experience greater levels of consciousness since then. The Undivided Self, The Components of Skill, The Body in Motion, Neurodynamics: The Art of Mindfulness in Action, and Anatomy of the Voice are among Dimon's other works.
