Recenzii

I am struck by the emphasis on narration and storytelling, as well as an articulation of the mind-body-voice connection ... I have not encountered a VO text that delves deeply into this arena, and it would be exciting to read a detailed account, guidelines, and exercises/analysis of what is actually at play in the mind-body of the speaker.
A great book providing an insider's approach to voiceover narration ... The author is knowledgeable and authoritative about her subject and writes in an approachable and professional way.
This book is unique and offers an approach, delivered as a step-by-step course, to the field of voice-over/narration work.
The different areas of voice work require differing vocal and personality strengths and Dian details and defines them clearly. Dian has managed to refine her thoughts and advice on vocal performance and make them easy to put into practice. The book is informative and also incredibly practical, with sample scripts and ideas to implement. She has focused my own self discovery and allowed me to feel freer in performance.
Dian Perry brings something new to [the] mix. Psychology first, rather than voice techniques or text analysis . Key ideas are around energy, intention and emotion . If you're just starting out you'll find some solid advice to get you off on the right foot. If you've been a voiceover for a while, you'll likely find some interesting new angles to approach a script from.
