Voice and Speech III

Catalog description

Year 1 Voice & Speech Discipline. We work from the premise that behavior and sound is an extension of the character's experience. That sound, when not manipulated by preconceived ideas or the actor's habitual tendencies, will carry on the character's inner expression. Actors gain awareness of their articulators and learn anatomy of the vocal tract as well as International Phonetic Alphabet through physical and vocal exercises. Through a process of awareness, exploration and choice the actors build the skills necessary to acquire different accents and dialects. Particular attention is paid to the skills necessary to work in big theatrical spaces.
