ATH 231 - Voice for the Stage

Course Units: 1.0

Sighs, sobs, moans, groans, and growls: This studio performance course explores the human connection between the needs of our physical-emotional body and our desire to make sound. This course will provide foundational techniques for speaking and singing on stage, including the integration of our emotionally rich inner life with an unrestricted airflow. Class work will include daily physical and vocal explorations, as well as in-class presentation of dramatic literature, songs, improvisations, and found text. This class is appropriate for all levels of acting or singing experience, beginners and seasoned performers are equally welcome, although a desire to vocalize with others is necessary. CQ: HUM
