Natural Voice

Freeing the Natural Voice

 

Reviewer.York
Reading this book has helped me break away from the bad habits used in everyday speech in our society. It frees the body and soul along with the voice. The only thing better than reading this book and using the Linklater Technique is having Kristen teach you the technique herself. I was lucky enough to have that experience years after I bought the book.

Set Your Voice Free

Reviewer: Frank Cavestani from Hollywood CA
Robert Love's book is excellent for actors. I like the fact that Love uses singing techniques to teach better voice production and control. The reason I am always leary of recommending any "voice production" book is that I fear the aspiring or even working actors getting hung up on "listening" to their voice. Although we all know a basic knowledge of voice is necessary, it could be deadly to an actors craft if they focus on voice production. However, we are putting a star next to Robert Love's book and recommending it on our web site Home page at Acting On The Web. This is a first! But "Set Your Voice Free" I feel truly deserves this high praise and placement for it will help not hinder actors in their craft.

Fitness without stress

Frank Ottiwell, Director of the Alexander Training Institute of San Francisco
"Robert Rickover has deftly combined the popular and the serious. Popular in this case means easily accessible information written in an easy-to-read style, and serious means that the information is solid and well-researched.

"The book is a guide - a guided tour if you like - from the beginning years of the Technique to its present, with a look into its possible future, a guide through the workings of a lesson, and a resource book for those who want to find an Alexander Teacher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to learn the Alexander technique

A book of immediate usefulness to the performer and teacher, and one which will stimulate productive self-evaluation and awareness. It is persuasive and positive in tone, easy to read and wonderfully enticing."

 

 

 

 

 

The Alexander Technique

The book begins with some history on the technique along with its basic principles and also explains what happens during a lesson. It is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of life and shows how our ?suppositions, habits, and behaviours? affect all parts of our lives.
One thing I especially like about this book is that there are many photographs of people and animals as well as personal statements written by students of the Alexander Technique ? these are very helpful, in giving visual and real life references to what is in the text.
De Alcantera?s writing is thought provoking, easy to read, specific, direct and often humorous. It?s a great read. I didn?t want to put it down!
