THR 425 - Advanced Acting: Acting the Song

Course unit(s): 1
Prerequisite(s): Any 300 level acting course.
In this course, students will develop a common language and approach to the study and practice of song interpretation and musical theatre performance through mind, body, and emotion. Through the use of a variety of techniques and exercises beginning with personalization and sense imagery as tools for song interpretation along with fundamentals of acting learned through Acting I and II the actor will develop the skills necessary to tell the story, illuminate the lyric and capture the attention and imagination of an audience. Acting the Song is combined with specific attention and detail with the technical elements in the music and how it functions in order to enhance the lyric, create the mood, and heighten the emotional content. This class focuses on the preparation of the singer-actor as the interpreter of song using a variety of popular American and Musical Theatre vocal styles. Students develop a flexible, expressive vocal instrument with a personalized approach – music, lyric, and interpreter as one.
