Cicely Berry, Voice Director of the Royal Shakespeare Society is world famous for her voice teaching. Anxiety about how we speak prevents many of us from expressing ourselves well. In this classic handbook, Cicely Berry tackles the reasons for this anxiety and explains her practical exercises for relaxation and breathing, clarity of diction and vocal flexibility - everything that you need to achieve good speech.
This and Berry' Voice and the Actor were setworks when I was at University. Dusting them off and re-reading now was a revelation. Very underrated works of true excellence written by one of the worlds leading masters of their craft. Your voice is you. Learning to let it reflect the true you is a psychological as well as a vocal voyage of discovery.
