THR 151 - Voice & Speech for the Actor

1 course unit
Employing techniques devised by Linklater, Lessac, and Skinner, this course aims to develop (1) refined - released, unrestricted, supported vocalization for the stage and (2) clear - articulate speech for the stage.  Both the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and the phonetic annotative scheme of Arthur Lessac are introduced, as the phonemes that make up spoken Standard American English are catalogued and practiced.  Students address the phonetic bases of their own regional dialects with an ear toward acquiring vocal habits to support acting choices in a wide range of roles.
Meets general academic requirement AR.
