xv, 400 pages ; 22 cm. Beginning with what every first-year acting student faces in class and ending with what leading professional actors must achieve every night, Patsy Rodenburg's work as one of the world's foremost voice and acting coaches is fully revealed in this book about the process of acting. She takes actors and actresses, both professional and beginners, through a complete voice workshop. She touches on every aspect of performance work that involves the voice and sorts through the kinds of vexing problems every performer faces onstage: breath and relaxation; vocal range and power; communication with other actors; singing and acting simultaneously; working on different sized stages and in both large and small auditoriums; approaching the vocal demands of different kinds of scripts."--Jacket Stage one: the actor first speaks Stage two: extending the voice into resonance, range and speech Stage three: voice and speech meet word and text Stage four: voice and text meet the rehearsal Stage five: voice, text and rehearsal meet the stage Stage six: the production meets an audience Stage seven: re-creating the work again and again Patsy Rodenburg.
