{"product_id":"9781408157152","title":"Speaking With Skill: An Introduction to Knight-Thompson Speech Work","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, an introduction to \u003ci\u003eKnight-Thompson Speechwork\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupporting audio provides 116 tracks illustrating the exercises described in the book.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126008955120,"sku":"9781408157152","price":19.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408157152_p0.jpg?v=1763719670","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408157152","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
