xii, 177 pages : 24 cm +, There are thousands of students enrolled in school drama classes and yet very often young actors cannot be heard, are culturally encouraged to trail off at the ends of sentences, and habitually use only the lowest pitches of the voice. Drama teachers frequently ask, \"How can I get my students to speak up, to be clear, to articulate?\" This book is written for the student actor. The accompanying 85-minute DVD features 28 filmed voice workshop exercises with the author and two students. These students log their reflections in the book on what they have learned throughout their training and there is space for the reader to do the same, Includes bibliographical references (pages 171-172) and index, Accompanying DVD contains demonstrations of the exercises referred to in the text, I hate my voice -- What are vocal folds anyway? -- Protecting the jewels -- Why am I so tense? -- But that's how I always stand! -- If I weren't breathing, I'd be dead -- My voice is a trumpet? -- The highs and lows of voice -- No, I don't have marbles in my mouth -- My personal warm-up -- Expressivity: tennis balls and more -- Perfect voice!
