Dear Mike and Vocalisters:
Your point that little research is available in print that address
the possibility of achieving proper vocal function for singing
through the use of everyday sounds is, in my experience, most
accurate. However, many of these everyday sounds are incorporated in
the therapy techniques used by speech therapists and the success
rates of these techniques are sometimes documented and, consequently,
taught as valid approaches toward improving the speech habits of
patients. Because voice teaching is not a licensed activity as is
speech therapy, voice teaching does not have the advantage of
proscribed programs of study that reflect the collected and proven
success techniques found in a more regulated form of preparation.
