Theatre Studies; Acting techniques

Fall in love with your voice. Get to know how it works. You will soon feel how good it is to sound like you. In The Voice Exercise Book, Jeannette Nelson - Head of Voice at the National Theatre - shares the voice exercises she uses with many of Britain's leading actors to help to keep their voices in shape. Her belief is that all of us, not just actors, can learn to use our voices well. Whether you perform professionally or you just want to be understood clearly and easily, you can improve your voice by knowing how it works and by practising simple exercises. The aim is not to 'fake it' - to try to sound like someone else. It is to find your authentic voice: to be honestly and clearly you in any situation.

Reviews for The Voice Exercise Book: A Guide to Healthy and Effective Voice Use

'Clear and engaging… packed full of wise do-able guidance and sensible exercises… the author's buckets of experience, knowledge and understanding inform every sentence and illustration' * Drama Magazine * 'Jeannette Nelson's approach is very clear... if you don't already have a book of voice exercise, I would recommend this one' * Teaching Drama * 'An attractive, unfussy book with very clear instructions... Nelson's own voice is friendly but authoritative... definitely a book which could help teachers to manage both their own voices and voice development work with young people' * Ink Pellet * 'An excellent manual [which] will be indispensable to acting students and voice teachers alike' * Word Matters - Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama *
