Reviews

Voice into Acting is an inspiring, comprehensive, and accessible guide to voice training, acting techniques, and body awareness for actors and performers .. It is a rich resource for teachers and students, and for established actors wishing to refresh or revisit their training or get out of bad habits. It is excellent: a challenging and insightfully presented series of methodologies that demands an intellectual, instinctive, and physical understanding of the acting process.
*New Theatre Quarterly*

A unique and valuable resource for all those who wish to explore a cohesive and fully integrated method for bringing a character to vivid life onstage, fully engaging the voice, body, and mind.
*Theatre Topics*

I was fascinated to read Voice into Acting and the approach it presents for integrating vocal pedagogy with the acting process. The authors combine a depth of experience in voice teaching and in acting that enables them to write with authority, wisdom and clarity, making a valuable contribution to the field. The material is thorough, detailed, and very well organized. Strongly recommended.
*DAVID CAREY, Voice and Text Director UK and USA, co-author of The Verbal Arts Workbook*

A thoughtful, comprehensive guide packed with useful, practical exercises for joining voice pedagogy and the acting process … Voice into Acting is a complete guide that could be used to create a voice class, acting class or in a rehearsal process to synthesize both. As demonstrated by the authors’ use of Shakespeare to integrate the process, the methods can be applied to any text, ranging from new plays to classics. The exercises provide a vast resource that could be used for an ensemble of actors in rehearsal, group of students in a classroom, or by an individual actor seeking to develop their skills.
