ABSTRACT
There was a piano in the middle of the main room. Apparently this is where we shall be having our singing class in future.
Tortsov came in with a singing teacher we know well, Anastasia Zarembo. We’ve been working with her since the beginning of the academic year. Tortsov said:
‘When they asked the great Italian actor Tommaso Salvini what you needed to be a tragic actor he replied: “Voice, voice and still more voice!” For the moment I can’t explain and you can’t quite grasp the profound, practical sense of that great actor’s response. You can only understand (that is, feel) the true meaning of these words through practice and long personal experience. Once you realize the possibilities a well-placed, naturally functioning voice opens up for you, the full import of Tommaso Salvini’s sentence will be clear.
