The 13th edition of Oral Interpretation offers many advantages over prior editions. The new edition is shorter, tighter, and more focused than any previous edition. It references several new aspects of contemporary culture—especially the contributions of social media to current communication. At the same time, it retains our classic focus on the careful analysis of literature as fundamental to enabling performers to engage audiences. New sections offer special advice and strategies for maximizing your body and voice in performance. And we have bolstered all the devices which walk beginning performers through the process of preparing performances.

New selections—chosen with the advice of students across the country--join old favorites, and may introduce you to authors you have not yet met. We are certain that when you try the new selections on, you will know why they have been included. In short, the 13th edition of Oral Interpretation can fully equip a student or an instructor with all the tools needed to make performance an exciting discovery!
