'Without Cicely Berry, without her talent, my journey from film back to Shakespear would have been impossible.' - Jeremy Irons
'Cicely Berry sees the voice teacher as involved in all of a theatre's work. She would never try to separate the sound of words from their living context. For her the two inseparable. This is what makes her book so necessary and valuable.'
From the foreword by Peter Brook
