All actors need to take a 'fundamentals of the voice' class at some point in their training. This class is designed for actors of all abilities and will begin with warm-ups and exercises meant to encourage focus, build awareness and develop voice skills for all acting mediums, including stage, on-camera, radio, and improv.
Topics will include Breathing and Support, Alignment and Posture, Resonance and Projection, Inflection and Intonation, and Rhythm and Articulation. We’ll also touch on vocal health and hygiene and other voice topics as needed.
Students will bring in monologues, poems or readings for practice. We will also use improvisation and extemporaneous conversation as vehicles for our voice work. Emphasis will be on personal vocal development as a necessary foundation for all actors.
Actors will leave with an individual voice evaluation.
