Summary: "Voice Production in Singing and Speaking, Based on Scientific Principles" by Wesley Mills is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the physiology of voice production, emphasizing the importance of scientific principles in both singing and speaking practices. The author aims to bridge the gap between practical voice training and the theoretical understanding necessary for effective use of the voice. The opening of the book introduces Mills' conviction that voice training should rely on scientific foundations rather than traditional methods that have often led to ineffective practices. He argues that just as professions like engineering and medicine require a profound understanding of underlying structures and functions, so too should vocal training encompass knowledge of the physiological mechanisms involved. Mills outlines the objectives of the book, which include educating readers on the interplay between anatomy, physiology, and effective vocal practice, and highlights the virtues of a more rational approach to developing voice production. The preface also offers insights into his experiences with teaching and rehabilitation of voices that have suffered due to incorrect training methods. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
