Debra Stephenson

Stephenson has explained that Davina McCall’s mannerisms help her find the voice, making this an especially clear example of body and sound working together. The Impressions Show offers a starting point for seeing how an energetic presenter’s public style becomes a whole performance. Watch the movement into character as well as the finished line. Her skill is in selecting a few readable details that make a person recognisable, then using those details to support a sketch rather than stopping at a vocal demonstration.
