Teaching Manifesto
I believe that an actor acquiring a good voice is absolutely essential if the is not to be typecast and is to have a career in acting that lasts for more than a couple of years. A good voice will put you ahead of most young actors and will make you employable in radio voice over and stage work. A facility with accents will enable you to play many roles and enable you to work in Britain or America.
