Voice of the Clown

Flloyd Kennedy 11 January 2018 Performance Skills Training, Voice acting, clown, voice

Yes, clowns have voices and if you are a clown, and would like to explore some interesting ways to care for your voice, and to grow its potential, this is the workshop for you. But you don’t have to be a clown to take advantage of some of their training techniques.

I’ve been training with master clown, Ira Seidenstein (Quantum Clown: Slapstick to Shakespeare, Cirque du Soleil, Slava Snow Show etc) for around 14 years now, and I’ve been experimenting lately with using some of his exercises to help acting students to use their voices more creatively, bringing the joy of spontaneity into the voice class.

So I’m offering a short (3-hour) taster workshop in Liverpool to a small group of partipants. Here are the details

Venue: 81 Renshaw, 81 Renshaw Street, Liverpool.
Date: 24th February 2018
Time: 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm
Cost: £10.

Interview with Cicely Berry

A wonderful interview, Jane Boston (Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) talks with Cicely Berry, legendary voice coach and human being.

What do you do when you have different directors with different idealogical approaches to the work, for example Trevor Nunn, who looked for “depth of feeling within characters”, or Terry Hands who focussed on the story-telling aspect, calling for “faster and louder”, while John Bardon looked to “honouring the structure of the verse”

“I had to find different strategies to help actors to find their own response, and yet honour what the director wanted”

And so much more…Enjoy!
