Listening to Front Row on Radio 4 this evening, Lenny Henry was being interviewed about his latest show. Apparently, when he was preparing for his first serious role last year as Othello, along with voice coaching he had lessons in the ‘Alexandra’ Technique.
I do hate that. ALEXANDER!! OK? He was a geezer, a bloke…..some of my theatre students make this error and I wonder if it’s because I’m female they assume the great founder of our work must be too. Or because it is a very ‘yin’ discipline and energy…..?
Anyway, nice to know he was helped by AT and voice teachers for his vocal probs.
