How can actors bridge the gap between themselves and the text and action of a script; integrating fully their learned vocal skills? How do we make an imaginary world real; create the life of a role; and fully embody it vocally and physically so that voice and acting become one? Christina Gutekunst and John Gillett unite their depth of experience in voice training and acting to create an integrated and comprehensive approach informed by Stanislavski and his successors ndash; the acting approach widely taught to actors in drama schools throughout the world. The authors create a step-by-step guide to explore how voice can: respond to our thoughts; senses; feelings; imagination and will fully express language in content and form communicate imaginary circumstances and human experience transform to adapt to different roles connect to a variety of audiences and spacesFeaturing over fifty illustrations by German artist Dany Heck; Voice into Acting is an essential manual for the actor seeking full vocal identity in characterization; and for the voice teacher open to new techniques; or an alternative approach; to harmonize with the actors process.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beginner Boomer Recommended!By M. MarksMy review is based on a Guitar beginner status. Irsquo;m in my late 60rsquo;s with 5 months of 3 plus hours of practice a day. Irsquo;m a baby boomer so songs within were very attractive to me. Of the 52 about 20 I like so thatrsquo;s not bad; and of those 20 I can currently enjoy playing about 6. Itrsquo;s likely Irsquo;ll be able to grow into 15 within the next year. I canrsquo;t read music so the Tabs are important to me; and theyrsquo;re laid out well in my opinion. The problem I have right now is most songs to sound good require a faster playing speed skill than Irsquo;m capable of right now. So in short Irsquo;ll have to progress in skill to an advance beginner to play most of the songs. For me having five or six songs I can play now and offering the challenge to play others is a good thing. Letrsquo;s face it is you want to play songs other than Row Row Your Boat you have to get better. Itrsquo;s a song book I can enjoy now; and into the future. As a beginner I recommend it for anyone with 4 months or more guitar practice who anticipates sticking it out with the guitar. Itrsquo;s one of the better tab song books and Irsquo;m hoping to find others of equal quality with songs of the 60s that I like. So far Irsquo;ve found that Hal Leonard books tend to be better tab books for beginners; and Irsquo;m hoping they come out with one that has The End of the World (by Skeeter) and Deep Purple (by Nino April). (Hint- hint-hint!) Beginner Boomer Recommended!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy James R.
