Rodenburg Patsy Livres

From one of the world's leading experts on voice work comes this book, which is a call to arms for women to reclaim their voices. Arguing that power and voices are directly linked to breath, Rodenburg makes the case that Western society's oppression of women has diminished their natural ability to breathe. She examines all of these questions, and many more, to decipher what lies at the heart of female empowerment when it comes to the voice. Combining elements of experience and practice from her prolific career, Rodenburg interrogates Shakespeare's texts and presentation of female characters; develops the notion of rhetoric in relation to the female voice; and applies concepts explored in her previous books, such as the three circles of presence. Exploring the female voice through practical exercises and stories from the front line, as well as profoundly personal and formative experiences from her own life, Rodenburg defines the art of accessing the voice within and reclaiming the woman's right to speak.

Patsy Rodenburg is the leading acting coach in the UK (she has worked with Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Ian McKellen and Cate Blanchett). Patsy has discovered the principles of speech in theatre apply extremely effectively when transferred into the workplace. Do you want to be more persuasive? Do you want to enthuse and inpsire and feel good whenever you present or speak in public? This practical programme will make you as effective as Judi Dench is on screen in every meeting, pitch and conversation in person or on the phone. You will learn how to impress your boss without being overbearing, connect with people if you are introvert and you will have true confidence in all your communication. There are practical exercises and example throughout and Patsy's results are amazing.

With a mixture of anecdotes and clear instructions starting with the voice and moving on to major textual analysis, this book will become an essential guide for anyone who wants to start to understand how to act Shakespeare.

Everyone has known the feeling of being present. Babies and toddlers live there almost constantly. Great performers work in this state. Great athletes win in it. Great teachers teach in it. Every great communicator speaks from this place. It is when fully present that we do our best work and make our deepest impression on others. In her years as an acting coach, Patsy Rodenburg has discovered the secrets to that elusive quality actors call 'it'.There are three basic ways human energy moves between people and you can be in any one of the 'three circles' in any situation. In the first, your focus is purely inward, in the third, all your energy is moving outward. In the second you are focused, you give energy out and you receive it. You communicate spontaneously and listen well, you are generous and people are generous in return. And by working on your breath, posture, voice, language, listening skills, focus, courage and trust you can access the second circle on a daily basis. From difficult presentations or meetings to flirting to getting good service, your work, relationships, spirituality and passions will all benefit.

Practical, passionate and inspiring, this book teaches how to use the voice fully and expressively, without fear and in any situation. Patsy Rodenburg is one of the world's foremost voice and acting coaches, having trained thousands of actors, singers, lawyers, politicians, business people, teachers and students: her book distills that knowledge and experience so that everyone can enjoy the right to speak. This Bloomsbury Revelations edition contains revisions and additional content taking into account the effect of social media on communication skills, the need for empathetic listening, how scientific discovery now illuminates why and how voice exercises work, and cultural and global issues of ethics and storytelling.--
