Jeannette Nelson - Voice Coach
from The Making Theatre Podcast Hosted by James Farncombe and Bruno Poet
In episode 9 we have a very enjoyable conversation with Jeannette, and learn so much. She started in theatre as a soubrette and dancer, touring the worldwide, before moving into voice work. As well as voice and dialect coaching on innumerable West End, Film and Television productions, she has been resident voice coach at Shakespeare's Globe, The RSC and Sydney Theatre, and is now Head of Voice at the National Theatre. She tells us about vocal technique, collecting dialects, how to be heard from the back of the circle and how speaking is a physical activity. We discuss whether you need to be seen to be heard, warm ups, microphones, that there will always be a place for Shakespeare, and how we all sound better if we sit up straight and put both feet firmly on the floor.
