<p>This course introduces a variety of spoken word and music genres to encourage psychophysical connection to text. The student actor will develop a rigorous daily voice practice that is designed to support work being undertaken in performance, singing and voice classes. 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 a spontaneous, adaptable and muscular voice for stage and screen. The emphasis is placed on developing the students understanding of marrying technique with practice as well as drawing on a wide vocal range to ensure an authentic connection to a rich, flexible, clear and expressive voice.</p>
