DR 116 Voice IA: Speech and the Actor I
Based on the teaching of Kristin Linklater and her work "Freeing the Natural Voice," the goal of this course is to enrich students' physical, vocal, mental and emotional understanding of their voice instrument, habits and patterns; enable them to experience and, by choice, to release negative habitual patterns; explore the relationships among concentrated relaxation, breathing and sound initiation and resonance production and to extend the students' discovery of habitual tension release and sound exploration into text, characterization and emotional life of those characters.
