Speech
The Formative Process of the Spoken Word
Rudolf Steiner & Marie Steiner-Von Sivers
In this
collection of lectures, exercises and articles, Steiner
demonstrates how speech can be brought to life. Relevant to
actors, teachers, therapists, and anybody interested in the
development of speech, this book will be an invaluable guide.
The basis of Steiner's
theme is that the audible
sound of speech is the end result of an inner process. In
contrast to the belief that speaking is entirely a matter of
correct placement in the mouth, Steiner advises the speaker to
concentrate on what takes place before the mechanical
production of sound is made in the physical organism.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) called his spiritual philosophy
'anthroposophy', which he defined as 'the consciousness of one's
humanity', and the disciplined methods of studying this he termed
‘spiritual science’. As a highly developed clairvoyant and
spiritual initiate, he spoke from
his direct cognition of the spiritual world. However, he did not see
his work as religious or sectarian, but rather sought to found a
universal 'science of the spirit'.
His
many published works (written books and lectures) - which include
his research into the spiritual nature of the human being, the
evolution of the world and humanity, and methods of personal
development - invite readers to develop their own spiritual
faculties. He also provided indications for the renewal of many
human activities, including education - both general and special -
agriculture, medicine, economics, architecture, science, philosophy,
religion and the arts. He wrote some 30 books and delivered over
6000 lectures across Europe, and in 1924 founded the General
Anthroposophical Society which today has branches throughout the
world.
