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 UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0667/2001276563-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0667/2001276563-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0667/2001276563-t.html ER -
