A Book to Scare and S top Singing

The production of scientific resources in the field of recognition and application of sound is one of the mos t urgent necessities for Iranian society of voice training, speech and singing. In a society where the voices of its voice actors and speakers are unfortunately often harsh, piercing and, artificial, and where these types of voices have become a trend, the necessity of research in this area is felt twice as anywhere else. But if the research is not goal-oriented, accurate and scientific, it will not only be unhelpful but also, it will leave irreparable impacts on the voices of the community and makes the matters at hand even more complicated. The forthcoming critique is an attempt to uncover and s tudy the shortcomings of a book in which the author intends to open up a new path in our voice culture. Among the notes in the present critique, is the fact that the auther of the book has disregarded some intellectual property rights referring to the resources. This is partly a criticism of our today and its shortcomings. Another point in the present discussion is regarding the misreading and lack of full comprehension of authoritative scientific sources that indicate the author’s inadequate knowledge and unders tanding of the basic issues of acous tic physics and the anatomy of the larynx and speech ducts. The next part of this critique is also a cultural critique of the failure and disregard for mentioning the name of other scholars and researchers in the field and overlooking the efforts of the preceding researchers. In the end, other minor drawbacks are briefly put to ques tion.
