Published by Nick Hern Books
++ 25% DISCOUNT ++
A unique new approach to the understanding and training of the actor's voice
Structured as a series of practical workshops, the book leads you, session by session, through the foundations of release and relaxation, breath and voice support
Later sessions concentrate on developing your stamina and muscularity, deep resonance, and your ability to create and sustain extreme vocal states
The book will help you to develop a voice that is utterly integrated with your body, breath, mind and emotion and, therefore, with any character or text you are working on
Accompanying the 416 page Book is a 110minute DVD, showing many of the exercises and sessions in action, and featuring full-length workouts and warm-ups which you can join in with, to help you prepare your own voice
The result is a systematic and rigorous course to train and improve one of your most important instruments as an actor
Essential reading (and viewing) for students, training actors, working professionals and their teachers and coaches
"A great cause for celebration ... a trustworthy and highly instructive companion to the work that takes place in the studio" ~ Jane Boston, Head of the International Centre for Voice
