"To free the voice is to free the person, and each person is indivisibly mind and body."
"Actors must develop bodies that are sensitive and integrated, rather than super controlled and muscular..."
"The voice communicates the inner world of the psyche to the outer world of attentive listeners, both on the stage and in life."
Catharis --> what happens when "the psyche of the character disturbs the breath, blood and psyche of the audience." Potency of the actor is that immense, illuminates dark.
"If the voice is limited by habit and tension, it will limit the transmission of the imagination. The imagination must serve the text but can only partially do so with a limited voice."
"Without intellect, voice and emotion, physical energy is mere flashiness."
"Except when pushed beyond control by extreme pain, extreme fear, or extreme ecstacy, nearly all reflexive vocal behavior is short-circuited by secondary impulses."
More to come.
