“[Kate Godfrey studied] anatomy, ‘from the nose down to the pubic bone’. She studied phonetics to be able to teach dialects. And she knows Shakespeare backwards, going through the plays in detail, looking up obscure words, picking up on a particular character’s repeated use of imagery – ‘usually animals, birds or death’ – and teasing out rhetorical devices such as antithesis and alliteration. It’s that last element of the three strands of voice work – parsing the text in the way that makes it sound rhythmical and comprehensible to an audience – that Godfrey says can be the most difficult.”
