The Voice Book - For Everyone Who Wants to Make the Most of Their Voice (Paperback, Main)

Self-help manual written by a voice teacher of 35 years. Containing extensive information particularly suited to actors or singers, this book would also be useful to anyone - teacher, businessman, salesperson - whose career is based upon the everyday use of the voice. There are tips on avoiding voice misuse and developing good posture, as well as pointers for mumblers, people who speak too loudly or those whose tone results in misunderstanding. Crammed with excellent practice exercises. (Kirkus UK)

Babies have no problem in vocalising - they cry, loud and long. But as we learn how to speak language, a highly intellectual activity, we increasingly depend on speech and body language to express what we wish to communicate. This is fine for ordinary conversation but there are times for most of us when we need to be able to use our voices to present ourselves in a wider context. Most people are vocally better equipped than they know. Usually some unconscious habit gets in the way. The Voice Book shows you simply and practically what is going wrong - and how to put it right. Whether you are a professional or amateur actor, classical or popular singer, politician, public speaker, or need to present for business, church or college, The Voice Book will help you to discover how to use your voice freely, powerfully and with pleasure.
