Praise for Your Voice: An Inside View

   One of the most recent additions to the field is Your Voice: An Inside View by Scott McCoy, a multimedia work that sets a new standard for voice science and pedagogy texts... The generations of voice teachers who cut their pedagogic teeth on books with grainy black-and-white images will marvel at the breadth and clarity of this teaching package. Having the extensive collection of diagrams and video clips in the hands of each student is invaluable.
    —Debra Greschner, from review published in the Journal of Singing, Nov/Dec 2006

  Your Voice: An Inside View is a vanguard of accessible new looks at traditional and current knowledge and practices in voice pedagogy. It also provides access to different learning styles in the expectations of today's information consumers. It takes its place in the contributions of Oren Brown, Richard Miller and Barbara Doscher, while incorporating the voice science of Ingo Titze and the vocology of Robert Sataloff... It categorizes and demonstrates functional and anatomical differences between male and female vocal mechanisms and registers, and indicates differences in pedagogical approaches. It also demystifies the vocal functions involved in healthy belting technique, offering functional descriptions, laryngocope demonstrations, and in-time spectrographic readings... If you are a singer, voice teacher, or choral conductor, Your Voice: An Inside View will illuminate your way as a friendly and expert guide.
   —Darryl Edwards, from review published in Canadian Music Educator, Spring, 2009

   This project is a computer buff's delight and a great temptation away from practicing the latest item of repertoire. Nevertheless, here is something not be missed, so let not the beginner on the computer quiver and quail. Scott McCoy has made delving for 'an inside view' of the voice amazingly simple.
     —Karen Sell, from review published in Singing (Journal of AOTOS, the Association of Teachers of Singing in the United Kingdom), Summer 2007

   Thank you for such excellent teaching materials! The structure and depth of your work is remarkable and boy, does it help the daunting task of trying to impart enough information in the vocal pedagogy classes. I have tried for the past five years to make the course content as substantial as possible at the same time, helping students with the ins and outs of studio teaching. And, now they have no excuse in learning the material. Thanks!
     —Darlene Wiley, Professor of Voice, University of Texas at Austin
