Additional text
"This is a thought-provoking and challenging book to review from the perspective of voice professionals. Practiced linguists would find more technical and theoretical references easier to access, and elementary and high school teachers would have more experience to view the kinds of classroom experiences and decisions that are recounted."-Jennifer Scapetis-Tycer, Voice and Speech Review
