About the Book:
Actors and other professional voice users need to speak clearly and expressively in order to communicate the ideas and emotions of their characters ? and themselves. Whatever the native accent of the speaker, this easy communication to the listener must always happen in every moment, onstage, in film or on television; in real life too. This book, an introduction to Knight-Thompson Speechwork, gives speakers the ownership of a vast variety of speech skills and the ability to explore unlimited varieties of speech actions ? without imposing a single, unvarying pattern of “good speech”. The skills gained through this book enable actors to find the unique way in which a dramatic character embodies the language of the play. They also help any speaker to communicate to a listener with total intelligibility without compromising the speaker’s own accent; and to vary speech actions to meet different language needs. An audio DVD provides 116 tracks illustrating the exercises described in the book.
