Voice, Presence, & Classical Text
About
Whether you work in theater, film, or television, all mediums of our craft call for vocal strength, flexibility, and specificity. This class uses a holistic approach to body/mind/voice work, to help you explore the dynamics between your body, breath, voice, imagination, language, and presence.This approach liberates the mind, body, and voice by strengthening the connection between what you are feeling and what you’re expressing. By integrating physical exercises with mental focus, we will bring the full richness of your experiences to your work. By strengthening the “support” for your voice, we will also add more variety to the expression of your use of it, be that in pitch, volume, singing – all without straining the voice or vocal chords. And then, we combine Classical Text with the voice work, further developing the awareness, trust, and freedom with your breathing, body, feelings, imagination, and voice and add more vibrancy and presence in performance.
*As this class is occurring during a challenging time, we will focus on actor wellbeing and resiliency, and cultivating a practice and process that you can apply to your life and art.
Please note:
*Each week will include two and a half (2.5) hours of group work from 7:00-9:30pm and then from 9:30-10:30 pm Scott will schedule one-on-one sessions with students. While you won’t have individual time each week, you will have the opportunity to do this a few times throughout the semester.
