Voice training for spasmodic dysphonia: A self-administered method of "tongue root relaxation and breath-holding vocalization."

Spasmodic dysphonia is considered a mysterious disorder in which individuals experience difficulty speaking despite no abnormalities in the vocal cords themselves.

This book reveals the methods actually used in a specialized vocal training school that has produced many successful cases of improving vocal disorders.

It is a new perspective on vocal training, unlike conventional singing-based voice training or medical practice.

It posits that the root cause of vocal disorders lies in "tongue tension," and presents a groundbreaking method that considers the influence of not only the tongue, but also the structure of the vocal organs such as the mandible, pharynx, and larynx on vocal cord movement. This method is explained with abundant illustrations and diagrams, making it easy for beginners to practice.

The author, a vocalist with medical qualifications and 20 years of experience in vocal training, presents the "fundamentals of vocalization" in an easy-to-understand manner, representing the culmination of extensive clinical experience.

This method can address all functional vocal disorders, including spasmodic dysphonia and hypertonic dysphonia, making it essential reading not only for voice actors, narrators, singers, and actors, but also for anyone who wants to improve their everyday vocalization and for voice training instructors.
