Natural Voice

Freeing the Natural Voice

Reviewer.York
Reading this book has helped me break away from the bad habits used in everyday speech in our society. It frees the body and soul along with the voice. The only thing better than reading this book and using the Linklater Technique is having Kristen teach you the technique herself. I was lucky enough to have that experience years after I bought the book.

Set Your Voice Free

Reviewer: Frank Cavestani from Hollywood CA
Robert Love's book is excellent for actors. I like the fact that Love uses singing techniques to teach better voice production and control. The reason I am always leary of recommending any "voice production" book is that I fear the aspiring or even working actors getting hung up on "listening" to their voice. Although we all know a basic knowledge of voice is necessary, it could be deadly to an actors craft if they focus on voice production. However, we are putting a star next to Robert Love's book and recommending it on our web site Home page at Acting On The Web. This is a first! But "Set Your Voice Free" I feel truly deserves this high praise and placement for it will help not hinder actors in their craft.
