Style in Singing by W. E. Haslam
"Style in Singing" by W.E. Haslam is a guide on vocal techniques and artistry written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the principles of vocal style, exploring the elements of effective singing and interpretation. Haslam emphasizes the importance of foundational techniques such as voice emission, technique, style, and repertoire, while highlighting the ways these components harmoniously interplay in vocal performances. The opening of the book introduces the author's motivation
to address the lack of comprehensive literature on vocal style, akin to existing works for instrumental music. Haslam discusses the consistent emotional effects that renowned artists can produce through their performances, posing questions about the nature of expression in singing. He outlines the fundamental elements of vocal training, emphasizing the significance of correct voice placement, technique, and personal style, and warns against the pitfalls of inadequate instruction. In establishing a solid foundation for developing a singing career, Haslam argues for the necessity of choosing an appropriate repertoire that resonates with the singer’s unique voice and temperament.
