Voice - no better starting book
This was perhaps the first book I ever read on "voice" when I was starting out (I'm now a voice & presentation skills trainer). I've even written my own book on the subject for people who need to start even more basically than this book does.... and that's just about my only criticism... Ms Berry assumes a certain level of competence - not so much about "voice" but about, well, life the universe and everything.

Sometimes she can be a little hard to access unless you've got the right sort of background but it's really REALLY worth it when you make the effort.

Read it, practice the exercises, enjoy!
