Introductory, Contemporary Guide
to Process and Research in Speech Performance Diane E. Howard, Ph.D. University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Copyright © 2003 McGraw-Hill New York , ISBN 0072930063, Edition 2 Based on many years of research, this text provides project-based curriculum for teaching speech performance. Scripts are developed from primary sources in Autobiographical Writing and Performing. Primary sources are gleaned for fascinating multiple dimensions, paradoxes, and ironies for autobiographical storytelling. The high stakes struggles (internal and external) of main characters are seen in historical, cultural, gender, and ethnic contexts. This book leads users through autobiographical research, which probes below facts at the surface of biographical study. It involves learning strategies that are currently promoted at all educational levels. Although it has been written primarily for university students (see syllabus), the curriculum in this text is being adjusted and utilized by instructors and learners of all ages. The skills addressed in this book are also applicable for multiple communication contexts, including stage, radio, television, and film. The techniques presented in this text are currently being used by performers and presenters in videostreams and videoconferences. Based on an historical overview, this book outlines techniques for artful speech performance and for writing/performing autobiography. It provides educational guidance for scriptwriting and presenting in on-site and distance education formats. It suggests research methods to evaluate the impact of presentations. It is being used by some involved in family
genealogical work to write and to tell personal or family histories in an engaging way.
Providing cutting-edge techniques for historical reenactment or interpretation
presentations, it is being used in historical and cultural museums and facilities to bring
static displays alive. It has also been appreciated by solo, Broadway,
autobiographical performers.
