This reading mentions how print culture affected the acting techniques of the time, including how the publication  of The Art of Speaking by James Burgh and John Walker gave actors and spectators gesture references to go by when they were presenting or reading other’s body language. What I wonder is, whether actors truly stuck to each gesture or expression they were taught goes with a certain emotion, or if they developed their own expressions that projected the same emotion. Also, if they did only stick to what was given to them, when did this begin to evolve into actors creating their own styles?
