As one of the world’s leading voice coaches, Patsy Rodenburg
describes practical ways to approach language, using Shakespeare,
Romantic poetry, modern prose and a range of other texts to help
each of us discover our own unique need for words. In Part One
Rodenburg attacks the myth that there is only one correct way to
speak by clearing away the blocks that can make language
inaccessible. Part Two, a series of language and text exercises,
connects the voice to the shape and quality of individual words and
phrases. Drawing on Rodenburg’s time spent coaching in the worlds
of business and politics, this edition reflects on how the way we
use words has changed since the book was first published. It brings
a renewed focus on the language of power, spoken in the worlds of
politicians and company directors. This gives readers an insight
into the potency of clear, direct communication. Language and text
exercises provide readers with unmediated access to this new
research, allowing them to practice and master the language and
words that drive the modern world. Foreword by Anthony Sher.
