About this book

There is nothing mysterious about voice work. We all breathe and use our voices daily and mostly do so without thinking about it. If we want to become skilled voice users, we need to start by learning how the voice works - and how we can work in tandem with that function.' Developing Your Voice bridges the gap between voice science and practical voice use where detailed and tangible exercises receive thoughtful scientific explanations. Developing Your Voice allows you, from any starting point, to systematically work with your own voice. The exercises have their basis in the foundation for all voice use - body awareness and breathing. This training will help you access a free, smooth and sustainable voice with the flexibility to express yourself, be it in your personal or professional life. Developing Your Voice concludes with a chapter showing how the vocal technique meets practical uses in text and acting. Harald Emgard started life as an actor and later took an interest in teaching. He is a registered speech-language pathologist with a wealth of experience of teaching actors, musical actors and opera singers. Harald has held the position of Senior Lecturer in voice and speech at some of the most prestigious theatre academies in Sweden. You can see his former students on stage and screen in Sweden, Berlin, London's West End and Hollywood. With one foot in the performing arts and the other in the academic field of vocal science, Harald Emgard conducts workshops and teaches in Taipei, Hanoi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, London, Berlin, Florence, St. Petersburg and New York.
