Subject: RE: Twain's speaking technique Hal Holbrook wrote a book, called _Mark Twain Tonight_, if memory serves, that may be useful, as Holbrook did a great deal of research into Mark Twain's platform style and technique for his own very famous and highly regarded presentations. There is also a set of audio cassettes available of typical Holbrook performances as Mark Twain, also called _Mark Twain Tonight_, available from Audio Editions (800-231-4261), or so it says on my copy of the tapes. Best of luck on your project, Bob Comeau
