Book Description

September 6, 2002
Actors know that the voice is their most important tool. Finding Your Voice is a self-help manual for actors who want to train and develop the voice-making it stronger, clearer, more supple. Barbara Houseman, who has worked extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company and other acting companies, explains techniques and exercises for the beginner as well as the seasoned performer.
With refreshing clarity, Finding Your Voice connects our repertory of vocal sounds to our body as a whole. Readers will easily see the importance of posture, muscular support, and relaxation to their ability to speak well. Exercises provide an opportunity to practice the techniques and to extend the reader's skills.


Editorial Reviews

Review

....encourage rather than intimidate the budding student.
Times Literary Supplement

[Houseman] is inspirational in her obvious enthusiasm for her subject. I particularly like Houseman's advocacy of a calm, patient approach.
