Robyn,
the Siebs book is a pronouncing dictionary of the stage diction
pronunciation of German. What texts do you use for German and French
diction?
regards,
Cindy Donnell

I'm not familiar with the
Siebs book; you state that it deals with "stage diction". I wonder if it is
specifically directed to lyric diction as opposed to spoken diction. In
working with native speaker diction coaches, there is a pronounced (no pun
intended!) difference between those whose expertise is in lyric diction and
those who concentrate on spoken diction.
