Voice & Speech II for the BFA Actor

Catalog description

This course is directly related to Voice and Speech I and will reinforce the objectives from that course and build into a greater understanding of Voice and Speech. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is taught as a device for training the ear, enabling the student to be specific in the use of sounds and providing them with a method of approaching future work. In addition to aural awareness, the IPA training provides strong visual cues to phonemes. Careful focus on the distinct movements of the articulators connects kinesthetic learning.
