Great IB Theatre sourceBy clynt whitakerThis is an excellent source of material for any drama teacher; I am using it for my IB Theatre class - lots of immediately useable exercises around which you can build workshops train your young actors. Patsy Rodenburg is a guru and writes fluently; honestly and provides great insight into the value and power of the voice. Highly recommended.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. must read for all public speakersBy C. MartinDetailed explanations of how your voice; breath; support all work together. Plenty of warm-up exercises and exercises to improve things like breath control; range; pitch; articulation; etc. A must for anyone who does a lot of public speaking (e.g. lawyers; teachers; et al) not just actors.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A small gemBy Keelt EI am a Linklater designated voice teacher designated in the late 1980s. Trish Arnold; of the Guildhall school; was our Master Movement teacher. Litz Pisk was often spoke of and her name was legendary to me. Much of the movement Trish taught us is in this wonderful little book. It is truly movement for actors; designed to release the body. I use in my teaching as well as my own body. Its a piece of movement history as well as a brilliant book on movement.
