ABSTRACT
MYTHS AND LEGENDS Literature and folk culture provide us with an abundance of images that can help with exploring the voice in this way. Strong character images, especially, allow you to 'change skin', and offer the possibility of exercising the muscle of the imagination. It is good to begin collecting or noting down images that take your fancy in a very personal way - images that really appeal to you. Keep a notebook, or collect postcards. Your images, which will suggest character, atmosphere, feeling or music, may come from mythology, from paintings, or
from other sources - maybe someone you've seen in a film, or in a newspaper, or remembered from childhood.
