Recenzii

The authors of this book explain the excellent singing techniques taught at RADA, which are vital for any actor or serious drama student. My singing training at RADA has seen me through musicals and Shakespeare from Miss Saigon to King Lear.
Everything an actor needs to know about singing is here. Jane and Philip are true experts and their book should be on every actor's bookshelf!
The philosophy and rigor of the [RADA] program has been distilled into this highly practical book . Singing on Stage: An Actor's Guide is an excellent guide for an acting student beginning their singing training. Additionally, as a voice teacher who works with actors and dancers making the transformation from single discipline to multidisciplinary performers, I found it to be an extremely useful resource in understanding and developing strategies for working with actors and in the importance of drawing out each individual actor/singer's strengths.
