Since the original publication of this classic text, thousands of actors have used it to develop and refine their voice and speech. At the beginning and end of this book are warm-up routines, such as setting-up exercises, to bring the voice to its best functioning level, but the training starts with listening. Machlin describes acoustics and the way the body functions to produce hearing and speech. She discusses helpful equipment and then proceeds, always with exercises which can be done under the direction of a teacher or alone, to deal with such important elements as relaxation, phonetics, articulation, resonance, pitch, rate of speech, and stress. In addition, there are chapters on such specialized problems as speech in Shakespeare and the use of dialects, on reading aloud, sight reading, auditioning and actual performance. The poetry provided for the exercises supplies practice material similar to today's theatre speech, in its vivid, colloquial, personal style.
