Professor Resources

The Diction for Singers platform provides an integrated system for vocal pedagogy using textbooks, videos, and interactive listening lab resources.

Our three top selling products guide the beginner diction student through the process of learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (recognizing the symbols and articulating each sound), understanding the guidelines for when and how to use the phonemes and allophones in English, Italian, Latin, German, French, and Spanish, and practicing their pronunciation guided by expert coaches through our interactive online Listening Labs.

International Phonetic Alphabet for Singers

Learn to articulate, read, and write the phonemes and allophones of all relevant languages.

Diction for Singers

Learn the pronunciation guidelines for when and how to use those phonemes and allophones, in each relevant language, in one volume, and one low price.

Online Listening Labs

Practice, practice, practice! The online Listening Labs, featuring diction experts, allow students to listen, record, and play back sample words presented in the Diction for Singers textbook. Professors can listen to their students’ recordings and provide comment, further enhancing the student’s success. Note: Some professors implement Listening Labs use in their grading system or as an extra credit component.

This system is further supported by sample tests for the IPA for Singers and Diction for Singers textbooks, the CelumbraIPA font designed specifically for singer diction so you can type the symbols using your own keyboard, and our FREE Videos. Additionally, we offer textbooks for advancing singers. Please browse the Vocal Pedagogy, Vocal Lit, Performance, as well as the Speech and Hearing tabs.
