Customer Reviews

A Student of Joan's

I was a student of Joan's at Cal State Fullerton in the Theatre Arts program and consider myself fortunate to have worked with her and given valuable information on vocal work. She integrates movement with vocal strengthening and presents the necessary understanding and incorporation of diction, pronunciation, and phonetics. She's a singer, musician and a master dialectician. If you're a beginning actor and you aren't able to take a class with Joan, this book is an incredible investment for your training.

AMAZING text for singing and voice

I highly recommend this text! Joan Melton clearly explains through exercises how to link the singing voice with the speaking voice via Fitzmaurice voicework. The anatomy and vocal physiology sections of the book are also very useful.

Valuable for both singers and actors...

A comprehensive physical approach to voice training that draws extensively from the groundbreaking work of Catherine Fitzmaurice and her innovative approach to destructuring and restructuring the breathing. Highly recommended for singers and actors alike.
