Book Description
Actors need to learn not only how to use their voice, but to use voice and language together. This book is about the expressive potential of language, and how actors can develop the verbal skills to release that potential. Written by tutors at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and authors of the successful companion title, The Vocal Arts Workbook and DVD, this book includes each aspect of verbal expression: Sound: How to develop a sensitivity to the qualities of speech sounds and use them more expressively. Image: How to bring life and specificity to images when you speak. Sense: How to focus your energy on those words and phrases that convey what is most significant in a speech or scene. Rhythm: How rhythm is created and used in both verse and prose. Argument: How to understand the structure or logic of language and speak with authentic energy. This book puts it all together using one classical and one modern scene as examples. Each of the chapters consists of several sections addressing the learner throughout—framework, exploration, exercises, follow-up, suggested texts, and further reading—and also provides teaching tips that give specific notes for teachers.

Category : Monologues
Languages : en
Pages : 160

Book Description
Forty fantastic female speeches for teenagers, all written since the year 2000, by some of the most exciting and acclaimed writers working today. Whether you're applying for drama school, taking an exam, or auditioning for a professional role, it's likely you'll be required to perform one or more monologues, including a piece from a contemporary play. It's vital to come up with something fresh that's suited both to you - in order to allow you to express who you are as a performer - and to the specific purposes of the audition. In this invaluable collection you'll find forty speeches by leading contemporary playwrights including Andrew Bovell, Nadia Fall, Vivienne Franzmann, James Fritz, Stacey Gregg, Arinzé Kene, Cordelia Lynn, Lynn Nottage, Chinonyerem Odimba, Evan Placey, Jessica Swale and Tom Wells, from plays that were premiered at many of the UK's most famous and respected venues, including the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, Manchester Royal Exchange, Royal Court Theatre, Bush Theatre, and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and VAULT Festival. Drawing on her experience as an actor, director and teacher at several leading drama schools, Trilby James introduces each speech with a user-friendly, bullet-point list of ten things you need to know about the character, and then five ideas to help you perform the monologue. This book also features an introduction to the process of selecting and preparing your speech, and approaching the audition itself.
