The Physical Training of the Actor
Anne Dennis
This inspirational and instructive book shows how actors can use their body to be as expressive and 'articulate' as they are with their voices. It attempts to rethink and analyse the actor's physical needs, offering a graded series of exercises aimed at realising those needs and making the body fully articulate as a medium of expression.
The book is useful not just for actors, but also for teachers, directors, movement directors and choreographers.

Eda Sharpe and Jan Haydn Rowles
In this groundbreaking text-book, two of Britain’s leading voice coaches set out a wholly new way of learning to do accents based on listening out for the ways in which accents are put together, then reconstructing them, thus producing a more natural and flexible sound.
The book comes with a free CD to help guide the reader through the process, and to put together a wide range of accents. The book is accessible and comprehensive, and is sure to become the essential tool for drama students and amateurs alike.
‘At last! a really practical (and fun) guide to accent training. I recommend it to all actors and voice teachers.’
Jeannette Nelson, Head of Voice, National Theatre
