{"product_id":"9781408156896","title":"Speaking With Skill : An Introduction to Knight-Thompson Speech Work by Dudley Knight","description":"Actors and other professional voice users need to speak clearly and expressively in order to communicate the ideas and emotions of their characters - and themselves. Whatever the native accent of the speaker, this easy communication to the listener must always happen in every moment, onstage, in film or on television; in real life too.   This book, an introduction to Knight-Thompson Speechwork, gives speakers the ownership of a vast variety of speech skills and the ability to explore unlimited varieties of speech actions - without imposing a single, unvarying pattern of \"good speech\". The skills gained through this book enable actors to find the unique way in which a dramatic character embodies the language of the play. They also help any speaker to communicate to a listener with total intelligibility without compromising the speaker's own accent; and to vary speech actions to meet different language needs.   Supporting audio provides 116 tracks illustrating the exercises described in the book.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312293785973,"sku":"9781408156896","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408156896.jpg?v=1762821398","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781408156896","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
