Modern voice : working with actors on contemporary text
Weate, Catherine2012
Books
Lifting contemporary speech rhythms off the page can be a challenge for actors. Sometimes these rhythms are realistic, resembling or mirroring the speech patterns of real human beings, sometimes they are non-realistic, distorting speech patterns for particular effect. 'Modern Voice' not only provides an accessible approach for understanding speech rhythm but also presents an overview of different types and styles of contemporary text (including the rise of contemporary realism in England, America and Australia).
