Exciting, Surprising, Great Breadth,
By
This review is from: The Vocal Vision: Views on Voice by 24 Leading Teachers, Coaches and Directors (Paperback)
This is a GREAT book for anyone who wants to change their voice, who teaches singing, drama,or spoken word, or who wants to explore the thoughts of 24 *hugely* diverse but experienced voice teachers. This is the single best book I've read (among scores!) in the 15 years I've been presenting a voice workshop showing people how to play around with their sound, syntax, expressiveness, and verbal fluency. Great stories... John Barrymore rhapsodizing over an apple for weeks to developing expressiveness... students cracking through wooden deliveries to discover dreams and dragons heretofore strangulated by polite reserve... elocution teachers gone near mad with preciseness... professional drama training and the ongoing arguments over verbal clarity and the mumblers of the 'keep it real' school. This bookThe Vocal Vision: Views on Voice by 24 Leading Teachers, Coaches and Directors (Applause Books) is a "world tour" of the richness within the world of professional voice training.

Good Survey of Voice Theory and Practice,

This review is from: The Vocal Vision: Views on Voice by 24 Leading Teachers, Coaches and Directors (Paperback)
'The Vocal Vision' is a good survey of recent thinking about voice training and performance. It's primarily theoretical rather than practical applications; historical rather than current.
The discussion of John Barrymore's voice training by Margaret Carrington was worth the price of the book to me. In sum, whether you find value in this book depends on what you're seeking.
