Acting Technique: Fundamentals of Physical Awareness

Catalog description

All Voice and Speech work has two underlying goals: for the actor to be heard; for the actor to be understood. A daily warmup, rigorous drilling, the learning of IPA, and its application in Standard American dialect will build muscle to strengthen your instrument for clarity of speech and train your ear to the nuances of speech sounds, invaluable for dialect and character work. The Alexander Technique uses gentle guidance to enable movement to take place unencumbered by habitual effort. Voice, Speech and Alexander work together to enable the actor to produce clear, tension-free sound.
