Listening to Actors

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The article examines centrality of voice to acting, the relation of voice to existential amplification and the role of actor’s voice in seven dimensions of the relationship between character and thought. It is stated that striking, memorable acting is bound with effects created by modifications in the actor’s voice. Royal Shakespeare Company voice trainer Cicely Berry stated that young actors shun intense work on their voices since it threatens the performer with artificiality and loss of self.
