Frankie Armstrong, one of Britain¹s leading voice trainers, grounds her work in the voice¹s capacity to empower the individual. Here, with writer Jenny Pearson, she has gathered essays from leading women artists and voice trainers that demonstrate the power of the voice to increase creativity, confidence, and well-being. Among the contributors are Patsy Rodenburg, director of voice at the British National Theatre; Ysaye Barnwell, of the singing group Sweet Honey in the Rock; and Cicely Berry, voice coach of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Through anecdotes, examples, and exercises, they have assembled an essential guide to voicework.
