Description
Speaking is part of a whole: an expression of inner life. Cicely Berry's work explores the idea that our natural instincts have been shaped by societal conditioning, making it essential for actors to develop precise exercise and clear understanding to tap into their true potential. The concept of 'technique' as a fixed entity is challenged by Berry, who argues that there is no one 'correct' way to use the voice. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of allowing the voice to be free from blockages and habits that can stifle expression. This approach requires a deep understanding of the human experience and the ability to connect with emotions. By focusing on the process of permitting the voice to flourish, Berry's work offers a unique perspective on the art of acting. Her approach is holistic, recognizing that the sound of words must be in harmony with their living context.
