The Second Circle: How to Use Positive Energy for Success in Every Situation by Patsy Rodenburg

A book about using your voice and presence in everyday life. As an actor, this is not new territory for me, but for someone who's never studied this before, I imagine this book would be helpful. I do have to say though, after a while the First Circle, Second Circle, Third Circle examples in different areas of your life start to feel redundant to me.

Speaking Shakespeare by Patsy Rodenburg

Highly-respected voice coach guides you through the 'givens' and 'imaginative' aspects of the Bard's language, freeing your mind and voice to a deeper appreciation of Shakespearean prose and verse.

WARNING: Even though it's highly readable, insightful, knowledgeable, well-organized and presented, Speaking Shakespeare is geared specifically towards working actors, especially Parts 1 and 5.
