The Actor's Instrument: Voice and Speech

A complete and well-seasoned actor has the ability to perform with specificity and ease, both vocally and physically. Specificity comes from an integration of speech and movement technique. Ease is only possible when a mastery of technical skills reaches the point where the actor can integrate them without loss of spontaneity. The goal of this class is to give the student the fundamental techniques of voice and speech in relation to the body. In the event of over subscription, student will be enrolled on the basis of seniority. Prerequisite: TAPS 0230. Enrollment limited to 16. Instructor permission required. S/NC
