Fredrick Matthias Alexander (1869 – 1955) was an Australian actor whose early career was threatened by vocal difficulties. When doctors and vocal coaches failed to find a solution, Alexander set about solving his problem for himself. His discoveries were of such importance that in 1904 he moved to London and spent the rest of his life teaching his work in Britain and the United States. He began to train teachers in 1931 and published four books on his work between 1918 and 1941.
