It is more than twenty years now since i held the first workshop in Voice and Dramatic Speech. Each of the workshops has created in my mind a chiaroscuro effect of enthusiasm and reluctance. The eagerness of the participants has never failed to impress on me the need to go deeper into the discipline. However, i have been consistently forced to peg down efforts at the level of voice and speech, while my ambition is to work with them at the level of vachika abhinaya!
