The Actor Speaks: Voice and the Performer

About this book

In The Actor Speaks Patsy Rodenburg takes actors and actresses both professional and beginners through a complete voice workshop. She touches on every aspect of performance work that involves the voice and sorts through the kinds of vexing problems every performer faces onstage: breath and relaxation; vocal range and power; communication with other actors; singing and acting simultaneously; working on different sized stages and in both large and small auditoriums; approaching the vocal demands of different kinds of scripts. This is the final word on the actors voice and its destined to become the classic work on the subject for some time to come.
