Overview

"""Thank you for the monologues; do you have a song prepared?"". Many actors shy away from singing, desptite the fact that it could more than double their chances at auditions. They feel, and fear, that because they do not have a gorgeous voice, they don't have a singing voice at all - and they couldn't be further from the truth, according to Kevin Robison of PCPA. This book is guidance and encouragement for actors who want to discover a voice for the musical stage and offers as examples actors such as Judi Dench, Gene Barry, Natasha Richardson, Zero Mostel and others whose singing voices are not considered traditionally ""beautiful"", but who know how to make a song their own. Acting a song is more important than making beautiful sounds; Kevin Robison shows the actor how to work with the tools they have to discover a voice for the musical stage."
