DRAMA 639-649 — Voice and Text I

1 credit per semester
Fall and Spring
Kate Wilson

Voice and Text I focuses on the principles and practice of respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation. The course will also explore anatomy, physiology, and the physics of tone, as students explore exercises for relaxation, flexibility, capacity, breath control, placement, and the production of sound. Through poetry and prose, actors use sound to reveal imagery, dynamics, and rhetoric.
