Abstract
This thesis seeks to articulate the physiological and psychological responses that arise from voice and movement training in drama by providing a context of some of the training lineages and methods, outlining physiological and psychological responses based on observation and research, and examining the current approaches to both articulating and responding to them within the field of actor training. Following a Practice as Research (PAR) methodology this thesis reviews the current body of published work on several primary vocal and movement techniques utilized in theatre performance training comparing the commonalities and differences of their vocabularies. It looks to psychology and neurobiology to identify the effects of performance training on actors. Interviews with voice and movement teachers regarding their methods and terminology are utilized as well as case studies of a voice technique and a movement practice in order to study articulation within a methodology.
