Putting Your Work Out into the World Doesn’t Have To Be Disempowering
Putting our work out into the world can be personally empowering – yet we often run the gamut of difficult emotions when we do so. “Sitting in vulnerability when we communicate, our voice becomes very clear.”
In this sweet conversation with New Zealand actor, writer and producer Adrian Hooke, we discuss Shakespeare, vocal fry, navigating performance and so much more! Adrian and I became friends when I was playing Gertrude to his Hamlet at the Pop Up Globe in New Zealand. Hamlet is a vocally demanding role and Adrian has much to say about the physical & psychological voice.
Here’s a glance at ‘Putting Your Work Out into the World’:
- Creating the Sock Police During the Pandemic
