Interview in the mdw Magazine
The voice as a seismograph of the soul
Significant for my teaching is …
... Speaking as a whole-body process. The actors are constantly required to act gesturally – physically and vocally. In order to be able to express their thoughts and emotions meaningfully and sensuously, the voice and the entire vocal resources, alongside the body, must be trained to the highest possible standard.
