AN ACTOR’s VOICE & THE TEXT

A rigorous 11-day training lab for actors

About the TRAINING LAB

Advanced Actor Training on Voice, Text & Presence — drawing from works & research of SITI Company (NYC), Odin Theatre, Cicely Berry.

This is not a workshop on improving voice or speaking clearly. It is a focused actor training process, where voice and text become a way into presence, action and performance.

Across 11 days, actors will work through body, breath and voice to uncover how speech emerges from thought, impulse and intention—so that text is not delivered, but lived.

The space is intimate, demanding and process-driven—designed for actors who are ready to engage with their craft at a deeper level.

The workshop approaches voice and text through several interconnected dimensions of actor training. Physical – Neurological – Emotional – Psychological – Imaginative – Dramatic

WORK WE WILL DO

The workshop is not just about: voice technique. It is about:
training actors to think, feel, and act through language.

Voice becomes the bridge between:
body → imagination → thought → action → performance.

Text as action: intention, energy and performative clarity
Body–Breath–Voice integration
Speaking from impulse, not effort
Exploring layers of text: meaning, structure, imagery
Voice in space: connection with partner and audience

READ SESSION DETAILS & APPROACH

WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH

By the end of the workshop participants often experience:

  1. The ability to speak text as thought and action, not memorised delivery.
  2. Tools to approach complex and layered texts (classical, poetic, contemporary).
  3. A stronger sense of presence in voice and speech
  4. A more integrated instrument—where body, breath, voice and imagination work together.
  5. A clearer process to prepare, rehearse and perform text-based workA deeper relationship with breath, body and voice.

The Spirit of the Workshop

This intensive is best understood as a gift of time to oneself—an opportunity to deepen one’s relationship with voice, thought and imagination. When that relationship develops, the actor is able to connect with text freely, embody meaning and give words life in a way that feels truthful, personal and dramatically alive.

This is a small cohort, high-rigor training space. Designed for actors who are serious about their practice.
