Book Description
Speak. Laugh. Cry. Shout. Scream. Sing. Whether you're an actor or a singer, your voice is called upon to do many things. But how do you keep your voice healthy while satisfying these demands? Theatre voice specialist Joan Melton is uniquely qualified to show how. She maintains that the training of singers and actors should be similar. Her groundbreaking book outlines a course of study that integrates basic elements of singing technique into the whole range of theatre voice training. The physicality of Melton's approach addresses all the issues of concern for professional voice users in any field. Melton's detailed work on phrasing demonstrates the technical similarities between text that is sung and text that is spoken. She supports her suggestions for relating and integrating voice and movement, too-for those in musical theatre who must sing, speak, and dance-with exercises that fully engage the performer physically and vocally. Kenneth Tom contributes a chapter on vocal anatomy, offering clear and accessible material on how the voice works along with practical advice on its care.

Book Description
Too often performers are conditioned to think they have a “speaking voice” and a “singing voice.” Yet in fact, the voice we use to speak, laugh, cry, yawn, scream, and call out is the same voice we use to sing! Joan Melton brings together the contrasting worlds of singing and acting training in an approach that is physically energizing, vocally freeing, and infinitely practical. Kenneth Tom contributes a chapter on vocal anatomy and physiology, offering clear and accessible material on how the voice works, along with practical advice on its care. This groundbreaking book outlines a course of study that effectively integrates techniques from theatre and music across a range of performance trainings. The physicality of Melton’s approach addresses the concerns of professional voice users in any field, and her detailed work on phrasing and the use of language applies equally to speaking and singing.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 209

Book Description
This is a true story narrated by the author, Gabriel Richards. Giving Love a Voice is an account of a whirlwind love affair, unbelievable financial accomplishments with monumental setbacks. The account covers catastrophic illness endured by his wife and youngest daughter. Richards spells out how an understanding of metaphysical laws helped them cope with adversities that would be considered epic in life. It is a story about how they came to learn about the true meaning of unconditional love. It shows the incredible healing power of love and why love without action is dead. This memoir tells of how the lead doctor of a medical team told Gabe to put his wife’s body in an institution and try and go on with his life. At the time she was totally paralyzed, blind, mute and assumed deaf. Richards identifies the lifestyles, attitudes, and/or the general lack of understanding that may contribute to the onset of illness and offers solutions that have worked for them. The Richards’ story is proof that with the right attitude, enough love and a faith in God, people can overcome almost any challenge. To love and to be loved are among the greatest gifts in life. In Giving Love a Voice, the stage is set for a love story that began in 1972 and continues today.
