In The Actor Speaks, Patsy Rodenburg takes actors and actresses, both professional and beginners, through a complete voice workshop. She touches on every aspect of performance work that involves the voice and sorts through the kinds of vexing problems every performer faces onstage: breathing and relaxation; vocal range and power; communication with other actors; singing and acting simultaneously; working on different-sized stages and in both large and small auditoriums; and approaching the vocal demands of different kinds of scripts, etc. The final word on the actors voice, The Actor Speaks is a classic work that every actor must have.
