Kate Dolan: Inflection Line and Delivery
When performing in a show, it is important that lines be conveyed with strong inflection which contributes to the meaning of the script while remaining true to the character. Directors need to work with actors to develop strong fluency and to effectively communicate both the text and the subtext. Without inflection, lines lack depth and interest; actors must consider the pitch, loudness, and tone of their voice when delivering their lines. Room 103, Tyler Hall
