“Experiencing Speech is a fantastic book to awaken the art of speech work for actors at all training levels. It encourages deep learning while also developing learners’ understanding of the creative possibilities this work offers in a dramatic context. I highly recommend it.”Kay Welch, Lead Voice Tutor, Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA), UK“Experiencing Speech is full of tools that empower the actor to fully (and playfully) explore all speech sounds. It encourages individuality and curiosity while nurturing skills that allow the actor to embody text, no matter the character or genre. We use this book in our program, and our students have enthusiastically embraced the work. ”Grace Zandarski, Head of Voice and Text, Associate Chair of Acting, Professor-in-the-Practice, David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, USA“Experiencing Speech is a treasure trove of transformative tools for actors and curious learners alike. This work is both rigorous and liberating—rooted in deep curiosity, practical application, and a global perspective. As a teacher, I return to it again and again for insight, clarity, and inspiration. It’s an indispensable companion for anyone training actors in voice, speech, and phonology.”Jane Guyer Fujita, Head of Voice, NYU Graduate Acting, USA
