Manuel García

Manuel García was a renowned Spanish singer, voice teacher, and innovator born in 1775. He is best known for developing techniques to improve classical singing and for inventing the "laryngoscope," a device that allowed singers and doctors to see inside the larynx (voice box). His methods helped singers achieve greater vocal control, endurance, and voice quality. García's innovations advanced the scientific understanding of voice production, influencing both vocal pedagogy and medical assessment of vocal health. His work remains foundational in both singing technique and vocal medicine.
