The Thought Propels the Sound

"This book is both practical and insightful. It is practical in that it deals with all the technical aspects of voice and text work that the actor needs to discover and use when rehearsing a play. It is insightful in that it so clearly identifies the ways by which the director can help the actor free her imagination in order to illuminate the text as fully as possible. What to me is so deeply important is that... Feindel puts the voice coach in there as a central part of the rehearsal process."--Cicely Berry.While the Alexander technique provides a basis from which she works, Feindel draws on the work of many other voice teachers, including Kristin Linklater, Catherine Fitzmaurice, Arthur Lessac, Robert Parks, Roy Hart, Cicely Berry and Patsy Rodenburg, deliberately using components from a variety of techniques to suit particular circumstances.
