 The Thought Propels the Sound
Janet Madelle Feindel
Even though actors constantly rely on their voice to create a character and express themselves on stage, very few performers spend enough time honing this essential tool. Furthermore, most actors don't know how to properly care for this tool which, on most productions, is being pushed to its limits 8-10 times per week. At last we have a practical and insightful guide which covers all of the ways in which actors use (and sometimes misuse) their voice. Janet Madelle Feindel has distilled years of wisdom, earned both as an actor and a teacher, into this excellent book. Softcover, 260 pp. $60.00.
