Summary

"The Brain and the Voice in Speech and Song" by F. W. (Frederick Walker) Mott is a scientific exploration from the early 1900s that looks at how our voice works in relation to our brain when we talk or sing. The book is based upon a series of lectures that the author gave. It explains important ideas so that doctors, teachers, and anyone who is generally interested in learning about how voices are produced can easily follow along and learn. The book goes over how the brain and voice box work together and also includes theories about how talking developed over time with the invention of human intelligence and emotions. It looks at how the voice box functions, dives deep into the importance of the sounds we make, and studies the different parts of our body that allow us to talk and investigates how all of these work together to make the human voice function.
