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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, an introduction to \u003cem\u003eKnight-Thompson Speechwork\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting audio provides 116 tracks illustrating the exercises described in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995515142380,"sku":"9781408156896","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781408156896-speaking-with-skill.jpg?v=1784897747","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/speaking-with-skill-by-dudley-knight-9781408156896","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
