Voice/Speech for Actors

Catalog description

A class for undergraduate majors of Educational Theater, this course focuses on the development of an actor's vocal instrument through physical exercises and work with poetic and dramatic text. Through exploration of established vocal techniques, students will build positive habits and ways of working with their voices that will allow for them to develop natural resonance and create more vocal variation. This increased vocal clarity will put them more directly in touch with their emotional impulses, and build a stronger dramatic foundation in acting.
