I am looking for a book that give practical advice on how to improve your voice using specific poetic, literary or rhetorical devices. I want to learn which technics to use to invoke certain emotion or emphasis on certain themes to improve my voice.
On this topic, I have read: The Art of Voice: Poetic Principles and Practice; Style: An Anti-Textbook; The Sounds of Poetry: A Brief Guide; The Elements of Style, and VOICE: The Secret Power of Great Writing (Bell on Writing Book 6). They were helpful but I still find the concept of voice to be extremely elusive. No book could tell me which literary device or poetry technic to use to produce effect in the reader such as humour, drama, excitement, boredom, etc. I was wondering if any one had any reading suggestions on this subject.
