Hello, teachers.

What does"naked voice" mean?
(I saw a book titled "your naked voice")

Thank you in advance!

Hard to tell without leafing through the book. 'Naked' could mean unmodified, unmiked or candid... or something else.

Thank you for your answer, Mister Micawber!
I saw only the cover of the book on a internet shopping site, so I don't know the exact contents of the book, but I guess the title is a kind of a pun, which means both "unmiked voice" and "candid opinion" bcause the book seemed to be one about music or singing.

If you Google "naked voice," you will get a Web site for a cappella singing (singing without instrumental accompaniment)
http://www.nakedvoicerecords.com/
and one about "the fearless music inside you"
http://www.thenakedvoice.com/
and one with mp3 downloads
http://odeo.com/channel/248683/view
and one about the "wholistic" approach to music, by someone who doesn't know how to spell "holistic"
http://www.amazon.com/Naked-Voice-Wholistic-Approach-Singing/dp/0195300505
and one about a "melodic word vocalist"

and, Mamma Mia, about 17,400 more.

Enjoy.

Thank you so much for showing so many sites with your brief introductions.
They will help me understand this phrase and seems just enjoyable!
