From the Foreword by Renee Fleming: "Kathryn LaBouff has developed an approach to singing in the English language which is wonderfully user-friendly, and which has surely saved much wear and tear on my voice. It is a technique that has empowered me with the knowledge and skills to bring a text to life and to be able to negotiate all of the sounds of the language with the least amount of effort. I have found her clever and extremely creative use of substitute consonants or combinations of consonants in creating clear diction utterly delightful because they are surprising and because they work. These techniques have been equally useful when singing in foreign languages. We sopranos are not usually known to have good diction, particularly in our high range. I found that working with Kathryn improved my ability to be understood by an enormous percentile of the audience with much less vocal fatigue than I would have experienced if left to my own devices. I have often told my colleagues enthusiastically of her interesting solutions to the frustrating problems of diction. I am thrilled that her techniques are now in print for all to benefit from them." In Singing and Communicating in English, internationally renowned diction coach Kathryn LaBouff provides singers with an accessible guide to the principles of English diction they need to communicate the text successfully. Her thorough and much sought-after technique clarifies the physiology of speech, emphasizes the studied practice of careful and articulate pronunciation, and focuses on the study of English cadence. Covering aspects of phonetics from vowels to diphthongs to fricatives, the book includes multiple practical exercises in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcriptions, helpful diagrams, and pronunciation drills, each chosen from the most essential English art song and operatic repertoire. In addition to standard American and British English, a variety of regional dialects and accents are covered in depth. A companion website features a full range of vowel/consonant drills, poems read aloud by the author and by theater and voiceover actor John Keating, as well as an exercise answer key, and publishers' lists to help the singer locate a vast array of English language works for performance. This book is an invaluable resource for all vocalists (both professional and aspiring), diction instructors, teachers, and coaches, and choral directors.

Excerpt from English Diction for Singers and Speakers While this book is put forth by the author especially for the guidance of singers, it is also intended to meet the needs of public speakers, and, in fact, all who pretend to refined or artistic use of the English language. No one who listens to the average singer and public speaker can doubt the need of more careful culture in the art of enunciation; for the concert platform, the lyceum, and the pulpit are constantly giving evidence of a pitiful lack of appreciation of the orthoepic beauty and strength of our language. It is to the discredit of Americans that of all people pretending to art and literature, we are the most careless in our speech. If our American singers, to say nothing of public speakers, would realize the beauty of correct "speech," and study English diction as faithfully as they do their Italian, French, or German, it would not be long before a justifiable pride in our beautiful, varied, elastic, and powerful language would ensue, and a new era in vocal art be established here. To enter into a discussion of diction for singers and public speakers is a serious thing, and the author is well aware that no written treatment of the subject will prove sufficient for the student; the proper study of diction really requiring a personal instructor who is an expert orthoepist, as well as a singer. If then, in this essay a clear course be shown the student, that he can pursue his study of "language in song" with a better understanding of its many-sided difficulties, and with a true method of practice, the book will accomplish all that may be hoped for it.
