It was the FM Alexander’s voice that gave him trouble when he was reciting plays in his early twenty’s. It was his voice that lead him to discover his habits around reciting and speaking and eventually finding a method that improved his overall coordination and condition so that he was able to recite again, in a way that he was not interfering with the use of his whole organism, so he could recite without getting hoarse or tense.
