Ryan O'Shea / Cameron Cramer

On this episode of Speaking Of… I’m answering listener questions. My boyfriend, Cam, co-hosted with me, serving as the reader of questions (not to mention he was letting me know whether or not I was making sense).

Some of the Interview Highlights: 

  • The most common “cringe-worthy” ticks that detract from a message.
  • The four pillars of accent work, and how to find specificity in any accent.
  • Tools for finding more ease in performing Shakespeare, so that you never need “Shakespeare voice.”
  • How breathing affects actors’ ability to be affected.
