TH 124 - Voice and Text for Actors

Credits: 4
Based on the Linklater Voice Approach, this course roots the actor’s work in the experience of breath, voice, body, and language. Through group and individual work, a full progression of voice exercises is taught for clear and present communication. Students generate both self-scripted and improvised material as they discover the three to four octaves of speaking voice and its connection with thoughts, feelings, and words. The voice work in conjunction with assigned reading, writing, and discussions will support contextualizing the intersectional and complex nature of personal identity.
