This paper discusses the dynamic between digital tools and the actor’s ability to listen. It presents the results of the workshop Voices on Stage: An Approach to Ancient Greek Tragedy in the Digital Era (Athens, 2018) which confronts the actor to different layers of voice (direct, amplified, and synthetic). Through those experiments and their analysis, one will demonstrate how listening to synthetic voices can reinforce the actor’s sensibility to voice, stimulate his/her’s other senses and transform the act of listening into a tactile and visual experience.
