Entre la voz y la palabra, el texto y el personaje

Abstract

Fernando Pautt Vega's work examines the interaction between voice, word, and character in acting, emphasizing the need for actors to fully integrate their body and voice into the interpretative process. It is structured in three chapters: the first reflects on acting practice and the importance of corporality; the second proposes a simultaneous body and voice training approach using movement and breathing sequences; and the third offers conclusions and recommendations for actors seeking comprehensive training. Throughout the text, the tendency of actors to underutilize the richness of dramatic texts is criticized, and the 'neutral circle' method is introduced as a tool for exploring and developing character through voice and gesture. In summary, the author suggests that the journey towards understanding the text and effective interpretation is a prolonged and conscious process that enriches actors in their artistic development.
