Synopsis:
A passionate exploration of the process of comprehending and speaking the words of William Shakespeare. Detailing exercises and analyzing characters' speech and rhythms, Linklater provides the tools to increase understanding and make Shakespeare's words one's own.
Synopsis: Voice teacher, actor and director, Kristin Linklater, goes beyond the vocal techniques explored in her text "Freeing the Natural Voice", to apply her learning and experience to a guide to speaking the words of William Shakespeare. This book breaks through barriers of restraint and incomprehension when faced with Shakespeare's text to achieve a freer, more visceral relationship to language. Included is an analysis of Shakespeare's use of language to create character, story and meaning through figures of speech, iambic pentameter, rhyme, verse and prose.
