IMHO Erika is phenomenally suited / trained for the type of public speaking she has been doing.
The drama, the whispering, etc. is very effective. Perhaps she rehearsed her speeches. I rehearsed all of my important briefings and speeches, including a eulogy for one of my troopers who was killed in an auto accident. In things like that, one must get the tone right -- despite the stress and anxiety inherent in giving that kind of a speech, the speaker must . . . perform. Yes, perform, after rehearsals, follow the prepared script, rather than break down into a blubbering mass of protoplasm on the floor.
That is responsibility, that is control, that is discipline, to execute the eulogy for the deceased, in respect of the deceased, to get the tribute expressed. Which is more important than the speaker's uncontrolled emotions . . .
So yes, she is an "actress" and very effective, following a prepared and rehearsed script. That does NOT mean she did not mean every single word! She just took it upon herself to deliver that message as best as possible.
She probably had a coach, unless she is a very well trained speaker.
Thinking along the same lines. Why do people think she would be perfectly composed and behave normally in that situation - speaking to the entire world about her husband's death only days after she witnessed it happen.
If the speech seems rehearsed it's because she rehearsed it. How else could a human being possibly deliver a speech under those conditions?
And to your point, she has made a career of public speaking. In such an emotional situation it seems natural that a person would lean hard on their methods, to the point of seeming a bit detached.
I feel the same. It is the most important speech of her entire life and she must represent her small family well to a world wide audience of millions and millions of people - and someone is surprised that she had a speech coach or practiced the speech before delivering it. This isn't a eulogy to a few dozen family and friends - it's a professional speech in support of a political movement. She was also burdened with how to prevent Charlie's followers from going against his will and killing people, possibly triggering a civil war which our foreign enemies have been trying to foment for years. She did an amazing job.
Erika is a strong woman. Strong women are not blubbers, at least in public. She had to fall back on her acting to soften her speech. Otherwise, the left would be screaming heartless.

Or, we are watching a movie . . .

YES! She HAD to rehearse it! She could not have done otherwise.
