Synopsis:

As babies we had no problem vocalizing - we cried, loud and long. But as we learned the highly intellectual activity of shaping our thoughts and feelings in language, we increasingly came to depend on speech in our communication - and often at considerable cost to our voices. This may be fine for ordinary conversation, but there are times when most of us need to be able to use our voices to present ourselves in a wider context. Then speech and voice must serve us well - or the effectiveness or our communication suffers.

Most people are vocally better equipped then they know. Usually some unconscious habit gets in the way. The Voice Book shows you simply and practically what is going wrong - and how to put it right. Whether you are a professional or amateur actor, a classical or popular singer, a teacher, a politician or public speaker, or need to present for business, church or college, The Voice Book will help you to discover how to use your voice freely, powerfully and with pleasure.

Michael McCallion taught voice at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and is one of the world's leading voice teachers. This book is the result of over thirty-five years of practical work helping people in all walks of life, from performers to auctioneers, to release their voice potential.
