Summary "The Voice in Singing" by Emma Seiler is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the intricate relationship between the physiological, physical, and aesthetic aspects of vocal music. It aims to bridge the gap between the science of sound production and the art of singing, focusing on how understanding anatomy and physiological mechanisms can enhance vocal training. The opening of the work establishes Seiler's qualifications through testimonials from eminent scholars and introduces her motivation for writing. She reflects on her personal journey in learning and teaching singing, highlighting the lack of a systematic approach in existing pedagogical methods. Seiler expresses her desire to provide a solid foundation for singers by integrating scientific knowledge, particularly through her use of the laryngoscope, to observe the mechanics of the voice. This introduction sets the stage for a thorough examination of vocal music, its historical context, and the evolution of singing methods that emphasize both artistry and technique.
