== Voice and technique ==
Caruso's voice and his vocal technique are described in depth by his personal physician and voice specialist, [[Pasqual Mario Marafioti|Mario Marafioti]]. His book, ''Caruso's Method of Voice Production''{{sfn|Marafioti|1922}} was published shortly after the singer's death.

In the book, Marafioti argues that there is a correct singing method grounded in science.<ref name=Marafioti>{{harvnb|Marafioti|1922|p={{page needed|date=August 2025}}}}</ref> While Marafioti calls Caruso's singing method "natural", he believes that the method is teachable. Marafioti characterises singing as basically "speaking in musical rhythm" and suggests that singers focus on developing their speaking voice, clear enunciation, and strong resonance.<ref name=Marafioti />
