THEA 322 Voice and Text This course is a continuation of Voice Training for the Actor I and II in which students develop an effective and flexible voice for the stage. Students will function at an advanced level in the use of vocal techniques including: diaphragmatic breathing and breath support, phonation, resonation, projection, articulation, pronunciation, variety and expression. Emphasis will be placed on assessing skills and applying appropriate exercises to encourage advancement in each area. Vocal techniques will be explored through various approaches based primarily in the methods of Cicely Berry, Kristin Linklater, and Patsy Rodenburg. Students will learn a vocal warm-up, record, memorize, and perform. Students will present a vocal ensemble performance for critique by the chair and faculty of the Theatre Department at the end of the term.
