| Brief description of the Unit |
Voice Studio 5 is designed to extend the student actors awareness and use of self in relationship to a variety of Theatrical language styles and musical genres. The unit builds on the process of working with music and text that was developed throughout the second year of voice studies. The student actor will undertake the rigors of a daily vocal practice that is designed to support performance outcomes for stage and screen. A sound theoretical and practical grasp of voice, speech and singing along with text analysis underpin this process. Students continue to develop appropriate technical skills that encourage a spontaneous, adaptable and muscular voice as well as advancing individual artistry. The emphasis is placed on deepening the students understanding of marrying technique with practice. |
