Voice and Speech I. ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Provides student actors with tools for increasing vocal ease and expressivity, with an emphasis on cultivating free and spontaneous breath impulse. Introduces the range of human speech sounds experientially, as a prelude to detailed phonetics and accent work. Provides a framework for developing a personal practice of voice and speech outside the classroom and applying learning through in-class performance. Covers acting, not public speaking.
