Synopsis

ÊA complete guide for all who want to make more effective use of their voice.ÊÞ The goal of voice work Linda Gates explains in ÊVoice for Performance Ê is to reveal the mind and soul of the character through the words of the playwright so the audience can both hear and understand. She addresses key elements of voice and speech ä Respiration Vibration Resonation and Articulation ä in a straightforward style and grounds her approach in the elimination of the separation between the actor's voice and speech. She also addresses how this relates to the voice of the actor/singer. For the first time this book is now available in paperback and includes eight hours of exercises with Gates on two companion audio CDs.
