Abstract
Debra Greschner reviews three recent publications. The Empowered Performer: The Musician’s Companion in Building Confidence and Conquering Performance Anxiety by Sharon Stohrer (Monee, IL: KDP, 2022) offers strategies for coping with performance anxiety. A Sketchbook Atlas of the Vocal Tract by Cheri Montgomery (Nashville, TN: S.T.M. Publishers, 2022) provides information about the articulatory process for lyric diction, and provides singers with guided practice on the subject. This is the Voice by John Colapinto (New York: Simon & Schuster, 2021) is an overview of the human voice from myriad perspectives: evolutionary, personal, social, and cultural. Guest reviewer Gwendolyn Alfred recommends A New Perspective for the Use of Dialect in African American Spirituals: History, Context and Linguistics by Felicia Raphael Marie Barber (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2021) as a useful guide for the study and performance of spirituals.
