The Performer’s Voice

Endorsements

"The book inside is excellently done—a model of how to deliver clear and engaging information, the layout brilliantly designed, so that you can easily find the things you want to refer to. Meribeth Bunch Dayme’s personality comes off the page: direct, understanding, sympathetic, helpful. She has discovered the way to write for an intelligent, but not necessarily specialised, reader. . . . The secret of finding that tone of voice is worth a great deal: how to speak to everyone, not frightening those who know little, and not offending those who know more. . . . Everything we get here has been tried, and it works. . . . The book is in three parts: getting your voice to work, getting it to express and present something, and then getting it to perform. . . . [The Performer’s Voice is] a complete prescription."
—Gordon Stewart, The British Voice Association Newsletter (April 2006)
