The Integrated Voice: A Complete Voice Course for Actors [With DVD] (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781848421844)

Includes 110-minute DVD
A unique new approach to the understanding and training of the actor's voice.
Structured as a series of practical workshops, the book leads you, session by session, through the foundations of release and relaxation, breath and voice support. Later sessions concentrate on developing your stamina and muscularity, deep resonance, and your ability to create and sustain extreme vocal states.
The book will help you to develop a voice that is utterly integrated with your body, breath, mind and emotion - and, therefore, with any character or text you are working on.
Accompanying the book is a 110-minute DVD, showing many of the exercises and sessions in action, and featuring full-length workouts and warm-ups which you can join in with, to help you prepare your own voice.
The result is a systematic and rigorous course to train and improve one of your most important instruments as an actor. It will prove essential reading (and viewing) for students, training actors, working professionals - and their teachers and coaches.
-A great cause for celebration... a trustworthy and highly instructive companion to the work that takes place in the studio.- Jane Boston, Head of the International Centre for Voice
