Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Links text; technique; and character better than any voice books I have seen.By Eric in BostonThis book is remarkable for its discussion of technique; its selection of sample texts ranging from Herrick to Shakespeare to Sitwell; and its canny sense of what makes an authentic performance. There is also a sense of how an actors can develop limiting habits and how these habits can be overcome. In sum; every bit of vocal advice is tied to expressing a thought or emotion; and few read texts with more insight than Cicely Berry.I am a theater goer rather than an professional; yet this book helped me understand the theater better and overcome some personal voice issues. If there is a slight caution with this book; it would be to say that the vowels are approached from a British standpoint.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
