On the hunt for an unimaginary, Skeleton Keys meets young Flynn Twist, a boy with a wild imagination who tells of his encounter with a terrifying shadow calling itself the Nobody.

Can he become the brave hero of his imagination and free everybody from the Nobody?

Resonance in singing and speaking

Thomas Fillebrown

Resonance in Singing and Speaking is a classic voice instruction guide by Thomas Fillebrown. Efforts to develop my own voice and the voices of my patients after operations for cleft palate, aided by anatomical study, resulted in a plan for the focusing and development of the human voice quite different from any other yet published or, so far as I know, yet proposed. This plan has proved so successful in my later life that I feel emboldened to offer it as a voice guide for the consideration of speakers and singers.
