The natural method of voice production in speech and song

A very unusual proof of the effectiveness of the psychological school of singing from the turn of the 20th century (although the author mistakenly condemns this school); in his book, he says that all the work of voice training should be related to the removal of interference (resistence, tension, muscular contraction, etc.). His is the first book I've seen that photographed the overtones and the fundamental tone of very famous singers from the Victorian era, showing the effects of interference and describing how it cut short their careers. Worth reading, as an additional support to the age-old argument that vocal pedagogy must change from the scientific local effort school to the psychological school that seeks to remove blockages to the natural human voice, thus freeing it to realize its full potential for beauty and expression. The author condemns what he calls the psychological school, but since his completed research predated the best of that school's literature (Clippinger, in particular), he misunderstood the essence of the school's philosophy. He is a medical doctor and researcher who worked with an inventor to develop a camera so intricate that it could capture information not yet dreamed of by voice teachers. His findings served as a confirmation for me that those who labeled themselves as part of the psychological school of singing were correct: Removal of all resistence and letting the mental image automatically create the physical response are all that are necessary for beautiful singing. On the removal of all interference, Dr Muckey and I are in agreement. His book, however, could not explain how an intricate knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the voice could produce correct vowels and consonants or could color a tone. Like Harry Plunkett-Greene, this reviewer believes that the less a singer knows about the vocal anatomy the better. Just remove all points of resistence throughout the singing mechanism at the start and see what happens.
