| Brief description of the Unit |
Voice Studio 6 extends the student actors technique in relationship to language and character when speaking and singing, and builds on the process of working with a variety of music genres and theatrical styles. The student actor has established a rigorous daily voice practice that is designed to support work being undertaken in rehearsal and performance for stage and screen. A sound theoretical and practical grasp of voice, speech and singing along with text analysis underpin this process and students continue to develop appropriate technical skills that support an authentic, spontaneous, adaptable and muscular voice. Moving beyond the acquisition of skills towards an awareness of the whole performer, students will focus on refining their technique. |
