Here's another tangent: What do you do with the student who hears him/herself on tape... and absolutely HATES the way he/she sounds?
When I was in college, an instructor videotaped a rehearsal of a play I was in. I was so thoroughly appalled by the way I looked and sounded (like a nauseating little-girl actress who was on TV a lot at the time), that I think it set back my development as a performer by several years. I *still* hate the way I sound on tape, even when my current teacher says I'm making good progress. What's to be done?
