Story
As a teacher of voice and speech for the theatre, I have worked with students and actors in a variety of institutional and professional settings. One of the chief aims of my teaching—as it was in my own training—is to enable students to discover or free their "natural voices". The rationale of this approach is that everyone has his or her own natural voice, that the natural voice provides liberation from the detrimental effects of society on our psychology, and that finding one's natural voice is better not only for communication as an actor, but for life as an individual.
