  1. Shakespeare Voice to suit role Accent to show status Clear use of projection, clarity, emphasis to convey meaning and appeal to tiers of audience

  2. Voice to suit role • Actors in the Elizabethan era had to change their voice to suit the character. • This included a boy changing to female, no accent to accent and slang voice to clear voice to show class/status. • Boys whose voices had not broken and beards had not grown, were cast as female roles. • The strongest actor (William Kempe) played the main character in most of Shakespeare’s plays.

  3. Voice to suit role • Important so audience knew their status or gender by use of voice. • Helped make the character more realistic with a voice that suited the character. • Audience responded to energy so no change in voice would have made it boring.

  4. Accent to show status • This voice technique worked closely with costume to help show a character’s status. • Clear, precise language used by upper class • Harsh accent and careless use of language showed lower class. • Words more delicate and formal by high status • Words more rough and informal by low status

  5. Clear use of projection, clarity, emphasis to convey meaning and appeal to tiers of audience • Voice was loud and projected so everyone could hear • Pronounciation and clarity of words important so audience could hear what was being said. • Words spoken with meaning and emotion could identify to audience a characters emotions/feeling at that point in the play.

  6. Clear use of projection, clarity, emphasis to convey meaning and appeal to tiers of audience • When words spoken clearly and projected audience could follow the storyline. • Audience could hear important words in monologues when emphasised with meaning • The play can appeal to audience when spoken with meaning, clarity and projection. • Therefore adding realism and including the audience as the audience can believe the character.
