A gripping historical drama charting one womans dazzling trajectory from model to lover to artist; to a tragic figure in her own right. London; 1849. Lizzie Siddal is plucked from the obscurity of a bonnet shop to model for the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - an intoxicating group of young painters bent on revolutionising the Victorian art world. Inspired by their passion and ambition; she throws herself headlong into their lives and their art; nearly dying in the creation of Millais Ophelia. The painting is a triumph. But Lizzie wants more and dares to dream of being an artist herself. Lizzie Siddal premiered at the Arcola Theatre; London; in November 2013. This is drama of the highest order; by turns funny; clever; provocative; infuriating; sad and enlightening - BroadwayWorld.com Jeremy Greens vigorous; entertaining and ultimately haunting play - Libby Purves; Theatre Cat does a great service in putting [this] little known story on stage - Time Out peppered with laughs... [a] tale of art; idealism and romantic disillusion and disappointment - The Arts Desk remarkable... makes important arguments about the subservience of women in art - Londonist fascinating... [tackles] the still-relevant issue of how womens artistic achievements are often overshadowed by mens - Evening Standard

Ive always admired the classic greats like Daws Butler and Mel Blanc; but something that can often be over looked is the modern; current talent. In the book; youll learn the history of a variety of voice over artists across the industry and a bit of the inner workings of different recording venues (audio books; narration; animation; etc.).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great resource but Kindle versions needs helpBy CustomerAn excellent resource. However there seem to be some issues with Kindle formating. Almost everytime I reach an hyphenated word at the end of a page. The rest of the word is missing and additional text on the next page. The book mentions an audio CD but no mention how to access that for us Kindle purchasers.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Good overview by the prosBy Stephen A. GrayI enjoyed this overview of the voice over industry.The parts of the industry reviewed are commercials; promos; trailers; and animation -- most of which is union work.There are other niches that include educational VO work; narrations; audio books; museum tour guide tracks; and phone messaging that are less commonly referred by agents that are not discussed.The book includes includes interviews with successful working professionals. There are no exercises for building skills.
