Act, Sing, Speak: Voice in the World of Theatre

to specialist training for the acquisition of accents, dialects and languages other than the performer’s native tongue, the work of professional voice practitioners in theatre is diverse and demanding. An additional (and vital) area of work is that of vocal rehabilitation, where interdisciplinary teams of otolaryngologist, speech-language pathologist and voice practitioner(s) (singing teacher or speaking-voice coach or both) collaborate in the treatment and remediation of vocal problems. In all of these roles, the voice expert engaged in this practical work has an added responsibility which is unique to the world of theatre. As has been implied by the title of this paper, acting is the primordial element—the research for which needs to happen before any performer speaks or sings; voice professionals who work with theatre performers ignore this precept at their peril.
