| Summary | "The Head Voice and Other Problems: Practical Talks on Singing" by D. A. Clippinger is a practical guide on vocal training, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the complexities of voice placing and the development of the head voice, advocating for an approach that emphasizes mental concepts over physical mechanics in singing. Clippinger's discussion reflects a deep understanding of vocal pedagogy, aiming to enhance the vocal abilities of both students and teachers. At the start of the text, Clippinger sets the stage by expressing his passion for voice training and the need to provide a solid framework for educators and students alike. He discusses the challenges students face in developing a beautiful tone, underscoring the misconception that voice production is primarily a physical endeavor. The author argues that mental visualization of tone quality is essential for effective singing, asserting that resistance in vocal production can lead to poor outcomes. He stresses that the training process should focus on cultivating a refined musical mentality, ultimately guiding students towards achieving an effortless and resonant singing voice.
