As one of the world's leading voice coaches, Patsy Rodenburg describes practical ways to approach language, using Shakespeare, Romantic poetry, modern prose and a range of other texts to help each of us discover our own unique need for words. Drawing on Rodenburg's time spent coaching in the worlds of business and politics, this edition reflects on how the way we use words has changed since the book was first published.

Practical, passionate and inspiring, this book teaches how to use the voice fully and expressively, without fear and in any situation. Patsy Rodenburg is one of the world's foremost voice and acting coaches, having trained thousands of actors, singers, lawyers, politicians, business people, teachers and students: her book distills that knowledge and experience so that everyone can enjoy the right to speak.

Written for the training and working actor, Rodenburg's book brings to life a wide range of exercises and methods to release the actor's voice, covering everything from posture, breath and the body, performing in specific spaces, previews and first performances, managing different length runs, using microphones and dealing with an ageing or sick voice. This book allows the reader to perform every night, reaching the pitch, passion and vocal intensity that the best roles require.

Il nostro corpo racconta molte cose se può manifestarsi con libertà. I pantaloni con cui Marlene Dietrich arrivò a Parigi nel 1930 fecero gridare allo scandalo perché non solo parlavano di una sessualità dominatrice, ma di una donna che attingeva agli stereotipi del potere maschile diventando una vampira di energie invece che una donatrice devota. Il seno turgido che sbocciava dall'abito di Marilyn Monroe mentre cantava al suo amante "Happy Birthday, Mr. President", alludeva a una seduzione di nuovo conio, ribelle alle convenzioni del matrimonio, della ragion di Stato e della donna per bene.

In 1990, David Lynch was on top of the world. Wild at Heart won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Twin Peaks was the hottest show on TV. In 1992, he released Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. It sure is amazing how fast coffee can get cold. The film was not well received, to say the least, by critics or ticket buyers. It seemed like the verdict was in: Twin Peaks was dead and wrapped in plastic. Thirty years later, the film is thought by many to be Lynch’s masterpiece.
