Drawing upon far-reaching sources and techniques, from voice pioneer Kristin Linklater to philosopher Rudolph Steiner and visionary Jean Houston, So To Speak leads the reader on a guided journey to the source of speech - the inner self and its need to communicate.

"This long overdue text is a welcome reminder of how essential good speech and deportment are, not just to my profession but to the quality of life in general. Written with care, authority and devotion, Colin Bernhardt's excellent book belongs on all our shelves. Certainly no young actor should be without it." Christopher Plummer
"Colin's extraordinary ability to put one in touch with one's inner self helped me to connect my singing voice with my emotions... - a vital necessity...in opera." Susan Chilcott, opera singer
