Theater · Boston College
Voice and speech are major tools not only for actors but for anyone who wants to communicate more effectively. In this course, the essential workings of the human voice, methods to free it from tensions and habits, ways to achieve a stronger and healthier voice, and exercises to develop its power and agility are explored through a series of vocal/physical exercises. This work is applied to theatrical texts throughout the semester. An awareness of the magnificence of the vocal instrument and a greater range of expressiveness with this gift are nurtured in this class
