Editorial Reviews

'A practical handbook to help the actor develop a clear and powerful voice... This is a classic text regarded as essential reference for anyone in voice studies.'
Amateur Stage (June 2007)

'It's quite an art to explain voice technique and to teach exercises using only printed words and diagrams, but Turner, with his very readable and precise style, certainly mastered it.'
The Stage (September 2007)
