Hi Gina and List,
There is a book called 'Performance Practice' by Donnington - don't remember
his first name. It's on performance practice in general, and I can't
remember how much there is specifically on the voice, but it was the
recommended textbook when I was at university. Unfortunately, I'm pretty
sure it's out of print, but you might find a copy lurking in a library
somewhere.
Regards,
Sheila
