This incredible DVD-ROM features more than 160 minutes of images and video detailing what takes place inside the body when we sing or speak.

Prepared by the Freiburg Institute for Musicians' Medicine in Germany, this DVD-ROM uses high-end visualization techniques to provide insights into the crucial movements of the larynx, diaphragm, lungs, tongue, and velum (soft palate).

Narrated in either English or German, these anatomical structures are explained in detail with the aid of more than 100 film clips to show the lungs and the diaphragm, the larynx, and the vocal tract during various singing styles, in different vocal ranges, and while speaking.

These images provide unique insights into the physiology of the creation and forming of sounds, as well as the breath support processes.

This DVD-ROM enables vocal instructors to more clearly and concisely demonstrate these complex processes to provide a great benefit to all singers!
