The Voice of the Mind:
“This is the most completely informative and best written book on the subject we have read. The author deals exhaustively with facts and indicates the lines upon which a good voice should be developed. A series of step-by-step lessons provide instruction on the function of the vocal organs and the resulting tonal sensation the singer should experience at every pitch, and on vocal attack, the true breath-governing principle, and interpretation.”
Musical Opinion
“Excellent. Herbert-Caesari, a distinguished teacher, whose work some of the greatest singers of our time have paid tribute, puts forward a complete and clear exposition of vocal techniques, and exposes many fallacies which are responsible for the ruination of voices.”
Northern Echo
“Herbert-Caesari in this excellent and well-produced volume believes that the clearest teaching lies in an examination and explanation of sensations: and here he is well-equipped, for his powers of analysis and clear exposition are very, very considerable . . . Here is wisdom plus experience.”
The Music Teacher
“I know of no other work which approaches this one in form and conception of vocal technique. Where is there another teacher to be found in these days with such clearly and carefully thought-out ideas on vocal mechanism and singing? The feelings and sensations experienced by all great singers are put into words. Great merit is due for serving this noble art in such a way.”
Laurenz Hofer
Through a complete series of master-lessons, the author supplies fitting answers (as practical as they are convincing) to most if not all the problems that beset the majority of students, who are victims, in degree, of false methods associated with the decline of singing and teaching in every country today.
A striking feature of the book is the Introductory Lesson by Beniamino Gigli, in which the great tenor reveals his own processes of thought and action on such important aspects as breath control and vowel formation.
The Voice of The Mind is justly considered to be the most complete and lucid exposition of vocal technique ever published.
