Vocal exploration of the Cottesloe

Vocal exploration of the Cottesloe

About

Even though the Cottesloe is a smaller 'studio' theatre, Jeannette Nelson explains that it has its own vocal challenges, which can make it as tricky to work to its full potential as the much larger Olivier. She sets actors Sioned and Chris the task of exploring the space by getting them to read to each other from different ends of the space.
