Recenzii
Alex Taylor has a lifetime's experience of working with actors, in the industry and in training, and a great knowledge and understanding of how the imagination, body and voice work together. He has great knowledge and understanding of the actor's body and voice . He does not preach but offers us practical help and encouragement . He is realistic, offering a great range of exercises which are easy to follow, inviting us to make our own choices and judgements and to keep our individuality. I wish this book had been available to me as a young actor but at least I can use it now.
Working with Alex Taylor at theatre school in my formative years was transformative to say the least. I owe so much of my development as a young actor to Alex and his teachings. At once intense, gently radical and subtly powerful, Alex Taylor's methods and discourse made me the actor I am today. Thank you Alex!
