Ravens’s Theresa May draws on tension, restraint and the difficulty of appearing spontaneous, as interpreted through the politician’s public performances. Her own explanation of the impression is helpful: she is describing a projected persona, not claiming private knowledge of May. Start with the Difficult Woman material and the related interview demonstrations. The useful thing to notice is how a constrained response becomes part of the character, allowing phrasing and physical reserve to carry an impression beyond a matching voice.
