I have been working in the field of voice training for nearly 4 years now. This book remains a constant companion of mine which I have read and re-read. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in developing their own vocal freedom.Once you have read The Right To Speak you will find it very difficult to ever listen to or view speech in quite the same light again.If you know anyone who still believes that the only way to speak is to "speak properly", you need to buy them a copy of this book right away. The myth of the correct voice is truly exploded by Rodenburg as she "unpacks the box" in this book.Read this book and discover both your expressive voice and your expressive self.
Unfortunately, some of the reviews here don't do this book fair justice. Patsy Rodenburg is quite easily one of the most inspiring and brilliant teachers alive today. Her writing is concise, powerful, accessible, and practical, amongst many other things. Don't know what the "psycho-babble" review was all about, but Patsy simply teaches how to find the individual habitual tensions that we all carry day to day and how to release them so one can be the most powerful communicator possible. She lays out a perfect system for how to find the tensions and how to release them. This book is the most accessible to all people, no matter the career, and shouldn't be passed up. The book affords infinite insight, benefits, and training toward the extraordinary vocal power that everyone has at their disposal. Patsy is a brilliant teacher, in person she is a million times more amazing than her books will ever show, but her written works are certainly a fabulous place to start.
This is a really life transforming book. It helped me overcome so many things from my past. Voice is such a powerful tool and Patsy, who is an amazing teacher (I worked with her in person too) puts it perfectly in words here. I love the practicality of the book, and also having the intellectual explanations.
Amaaaazing, I love this book because I chose to believe in it and has made my communication process completely differently; I have a new faith in myself and like a different notion of the world in general.
Great breathing exercises and techniques. You can refer to this book during the course if your career for insight and direction.
