THR-142 Voice & Speech

A performance technique class, this course concentrates on sensing, freeing and developing the voice as an aspect of identity and as a fundamental tool of the actor. Through individual and ensemble exercises, students explore alignment of the body, breathing, resonance, articulation, and text work. Students use this foundational understanding of vocal mechanics to build a healthy, agile, and expressive voice for the stage. Reflective journaling, recordings, and presentations allow students to intentionally navigate their personal vocal development.
