experience as an acting and voice coach on major movies to offer

Breath in Action looks at the significance of breath to human life
- not just the simple fact that if we stop breathing, we die, but
also the more subtle ways in which our breath interacts with our
voice and our being. Written by experts in vocal and holistic
practice, the book is divided into four sections: Breath and the
Body; Breath and the Mind; Breath and Holistic Practice; Breath and
Performance. It offers the latest theories from a variety of
disciplines on how we can be taught to breathe better so as to
communicate better, act or sing better, feel better, live better.
Combining theory with practice, many of the chapters also offer
clearly laid out breathing exercises and techniques.
Interdisciplinary in its focus, Breath in Action adds to specialist
knowledge in the performance field, whilst also offering
enlightening information for those interested in therapeutic and
healing processes, movement, and voice and speech sciences.
