  Welcome to Voice Care and Training For Speakers. My name is Dielle, and I have been a trained vocalist since I was a child. When I started my own business as an adult, I attended a business training seminar with an exceptional speaker and coach. He was struggling with his voice due to the demands of his schedule and intense training diary. I grabbed him at tea time and gave him a few quick pointers about voice care, which made such an impact so quickly, it made me realise that many professional speakers may not have the same training as us singers, in how to care for their voices.  
  What would happen to your business or your work if you lost your voice? 
  If you speak for work, you are a professional voice user. You might be a teacher, a yoga instructor, a receptionist, a trainer, a motivational speaker, or work on the telephone. You don’t have to be an actor, politician or orator to be a professional voice user.  
  More and more our work involves doing live videos, speaking on podcasts, and giving presentations in all walks of life. This audiobook is here to help you develop and maintain fitness in your voice, primarily to keep you healthy.  
  In this book you will find exercises and advice for building strength and stamina in your voice, general voice care, developing performance skills in dynamics and modulation, and how to prepare for big events. 
  None of these exercises are intended to train your natural expression out of you, they are there to develop your comfort and skill in commanding your natural voice, and enable you to employ your greatest range of natural expression with ease.

  Mussolini in Myth and Memory -...

  Paul Corner

  Mussolini has rarely been taken seriously as a totalitarian dictator; Hitler and Stalin have always cast too long a shadow. But what was a negative judgement on the Duce, considered innocuous and ineffective, has begun to work to his advantage. As has occurred with many other European dictators, present-day popular memory of Mussolini is increasingly indulgent; in Italy and elsewhere he is remembered as a strong, decisive leader. Mussolini in Myth and Memory argues against this rehabilitation, documenting the inefficiencies, corruption, and violence of a highly repressive regime and exploding the myths of fascist good government. But this short study does not limit itself to setting the record straight; it seeks also to answer the question of why there is nostalgia for dictatorial rule. Linking past history and present memory, Corner's analysis constructs a picture of the realities of the Italian regime and examines the more general problem of why, in a moment of evident crisis of western democracy, people look for strong leadership and take refuge in the memory of past dictatorships. If, in this book, Fascism is placed in its totalitarian context and Mussolini emerges firmly in the company of his fellow dictators, the study also shows how a memory of the past, formed through reliance on illusion and myth, can affect the politics of the present.

  Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging. 
   
  In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called 'alpha males', and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers. 
   
  Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, fascinating international case studies, data, cultural analysis and history, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the crisis in contemporary masculinity.

  Nothing Is Hidden - The...

  “Using old koans as a jumping off point, Magid brings a wonderfully unorthodox (and helpful) perspective to traditional Zen teachings. As both Zen teacher and psychoanalyst, Magid unmasks the psychological naivete that is still all too prevalent in contemporary Zen practice, and shows how it can lead to problems for students, and tangled relationships between teachers and students. In each insightful essay, Magid makes a journey from a short koan into far territories of the heart.”—Susan Moon, author of This Is Getting Old 
  In this inspiring and incisive offering, Barry Magid uses the language of modern psychology and psychotherapy to illuminate one of Buddhism's most powerful and often mysterious technologies: the Zen koan. What's more, Magid also uses the koans to expand upon the insights of psychology (especially self psychology and relational psychotherapy) and open for the reader new perspectives on the functioning of the human mind and heart. Nothing Is Hidden explores many rich themes, including facing impermanence and the inevitability of change, working skillfully with desire and attachment, and discovering when "surrender and submission" can be liberating and when they shade into emotional bypassing. With a sophisticated view of the rituals and teachings of traditional Buddhism, Magid helps us see how we sometimes subvert meditation into just another "curative fantasy" or make compassion into a form of masochism.
