There have been many actors with the ability to sing in the history of Sinhala theatre of Sri Lanka; from the time of folk drama to contemporary theatre.

It is a rare talent and only a handful of actors have been able to successfully apply it to their performances.

The success of the performance varies depending on the ability to effectively combine acting, singing and dancing.

Although Singing Actors are sought after and are of great worth, there is hardly any academic research about them.

With 15 years of practical experience in theatre, I was inspired to research on the Singing Actor, by focusing mainly on Tharawo Igilethi and Rathuhattakari, two plays that I have performed in as a Singing Actor myself.

The challenges faced, the techniques used in order to overcome them; and the pros and cons of a Singing Actor were identified through this research.

Also it will contribute to the wider community of research by attempting to fill a research gap, as this subject area has not been researched in this manner before and I have been able to reach new ground based on the facts and findings of this research.This dissertation will hopefully be the inception of a vast academic study on the Singing Actor.
