What is voice in solo performance?Show answer
With no partner to react against, the voice carries even more of the work. You use pitch, pace, pause, volume and tone to shape the speech, but you must generate variety and momentum yourself rather than receiving it from a scene partner. Pauses are especially exposed: a held silence alone on stage must be filled with intention, not dead air, or it collapses the moment.
