La sustancia de la voz

Overview

Our distinct voices are the result of an authentically monumental process, a miraculous part of nature that makes us unique. To know your own voice is a form of understanding yourself. Actors, singers, public speakers—they know that their voices result from constant learning but also from emotions, feelings, doubts, fears, and pleasures. Each one of our words is tinged with feeling. The voice is communication, particularly self-communication. To manage it with solvency is less a virtue or innate ability than a matter of persistence and patience. This guide to developing the full expanse of your voice helps you improve communication with useful tools and practical exercises.
