Bloomsbury presents The Actor Speaks, written and read by Patsy Rodenburg.

From the bestselling author of The Right to Speak and The Need for Words comes this Bloomsbury Revelations edition of the essential guide to voice work: The Actor Speaks. Beginning with what every first-year acting student faces in class and ending with what leading professional actors must achieve every night on stage, Patsy Rodenburg’s celebrated work as one of the world’s foremost voice and acting coaches is fully revealed in this thoughtful and inspirational book about acting.

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.©1997 Patsy Rodenburg (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Seven steps to a thespian heaven... The Actor Speaks is a stimulating read and an invaluable reference for all actors... A landmark book.
I am an enormous fan of her work. What is wonderful about her is the directness and clarity of her teaching and her enthusiasm.
What leaves actors tongue-tied for years, Patsy releases in minutes...through simple, practical actions that can empower anyone.
Patsy’s guidance and the clarity and directness of her approach have been invaluable to me.
