Description: Speaking in Shakespeare's Voice : A Guide for American Actors, Paperback by Gates, Linda, ISBN 0810139901, ISBN-13 9780810139909, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US The purpose of this book, says Gates, is to help all actors, but especially American actors, build the vocal skills and confidence necessary to speak Shakespeare's text and to communicate it to an audience. She covers the basic elements of vocal production, including breath, vocal placement and resonance, and the sounds and principles of Standard American English voice and diction-always using Shakespeare's texts as a practical guide. She also presents actors with a working knowledge of some of the basic principles of Elizabethan rhetoric and verse speaking found in Shakespeare's plays, and suggests how modern actors can apply those principles in performance today.
