What is the Suzuki Actor Training Method?
The Suzuki Method of Actor Training was developed by Japanese theatre director Tadashi Suzuki, and is a highly physical, rigorous approach aimed at restoring the body’s full expressive potential for the stage.
The focus of the Suzuki training is the whole person/actor. The work looks to incorporate voice, movement and artistic expression, without the use of psychological exploration, or character work.
Character work can be done in specific rehearsals, while the training is what prepares the actor/person for the rehearsal.

Training Speech
O Splendour of sunburst breaking forth this day, whereon I lay my hands once more on Helen my wife.
And yet it is not so much as men think, for the women’s sake I came to Troy, but against that guest proved treacherous, who like a robber carried the woman from my house.
