Book cover
By: (1853-1926)

"Brain and the Voice in Speech and Song" by Frederick Walker Mott is an insightful and detailed exploration of the connection between the brain and the voice in the context of speech and singing. Mott's expertise in the field of neurology shines through in this comprehensive study, as he delves into the physiological and neurological processes that underlie vocal production.

The book covers a wide range of topics, from the anatomy of the vocal apparatus to the role of the brain in controlling speech and singing. Mott's writing is clear and accessible, making complex scientific concepts easy to understand for readers of all backgrounds.

One of the highlights of the book is Mott's discussion of how various neurological conditions can impact vocal performance, providing valuable insights for both healthcare professionals and performers alike. Additionally, the inclusion of case studies and real-life examples adds a practical dimension to the text, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of vocal communication.

Overall, "Brain and the Voice in Speech and Song" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of neuroscience and vocal expression. Mott's expertise and passion for the subject shine through in this engaging and informative book.

Book Description:
From the Preface: "The contents of this little book formed the subject of three lectures delivered at the Royal Institution "On the Mechanism of the Human Voice" and three London University lectures at King's College on "The Brain in relation to Speech and Song." I have endeavoured to place this subject before my readers in as simple language as scientific accuracy and requirements permit. Where I have been obliged to use technical anatomical and physiological terms I have either explained their meaning in the text, aided by diagrams and figures, or I have given in brackets the English equivalents of the terms used. I trust my attempt to give a sketch of the mechanism of the human voice, and how it is produced in speech and song, may prove of interest to the general public, and I even hope that teachers of voice production may find some of the pages dealing with the brain mechanism not unworthy of their attention."
