In 1892 a young Australian actor found himself afflicted by a strange hoarseness whenever he started to recite. Observing himself in mirrors, he worked out that his problem arose from habitual 'misuse' in the relationship of the head, neck and back. He also noticed that most people suffered from such habits, which explained much of what went wrong with them. The man was F.M. Alexander and his method became know as the Alexander Technique, a unique form of muscular re-eduction which is now practised across the world and is standard training for actors, dancers and singers in the UK.
