Cicely was born May 17th, 1926. She is the voice director at the Royal Shakespeare Company and also is world known for her work as a voice coach. She does workshops that are successful all over the globe including Korea, Russia, Uk and Asia.
The exercise we had to do was taking 5/6 lines from our script of The Tempest and working out where the pauses would be. Every time its a new thought this would count as a pause so we put a line. We then had to say a line in one position of the room, walk to a new place and then say the next.
The section of speech I was using was:
WRITE FROM THE SCRIPT WHAT I SAID
I feel this task was helpful for making me slow my speaking down. Before this lesson I was saying this section of the play very fast and pausing in the wrong places meaning it was hard to understand what I was saying. Some characters found that they were always moving to high up places which showed there character was loud or a important person. But I felt I didnt move too much and kept quite low down. My section of speech was a moment in which I am trying to calm someone down and reassure them and I feel this would be most affective on the other persons level. So this is why I didn't stand on the staging.
