Cicely Berry, the second theorist I looked at when
studying voice. Her work is more of a formal approach than that of Barba. Studying
her vocal exercises help me to develop my voice. Diction, pronunciation,
learning vowel sounds, shaping of my mouth and research on my actual voice
helped me develop a keen understanding of my own individual voice and how it
works and also the anatomy of my mouth and throat.

As you can see in this diagram the throat and mouth
are separated into many confusing sections. For now I have just focused on the
soft and hard palate. The soft palate helps you to create open and muffled
drawn back noises as it moves around unlike the hard palate. The hard palate
helps you to articulate and pronounciate. Having a clear understanding of the
palates really brought forward my understanding of Berry. Reading through her
work with a further knowledge I found myself being able to understand the
exercises, know where to place my tongue and then was able to complete all
exercises without struggle or confusion.
