Paperback The first part of the book contains sixteen archetype journeys. Based on the beautifully crafted workshops of world-renowned singer and teacher Frankie Armstrong each archetype journey is accompanied by preparatory explorations for the voice body and imagination. The CD sung by Ms. Armstrong provides songs and examples of vocal ornamentation to prepare and assist the journeyer. The journeys provide opportunities for theater artists/singers to gain greater access to their whole being. Each archetype is not a fully developed character but rather its essence images forms voices bodies and a few psychological elements or shards around which a performer can organize a portrayal and begin the journey toward full character development.
