THEA 342 Q - Voice and Speech (3 credits)

(Prereq: B.F.A. Program only or by permission of the instructor; completion of THEA 242 with a grade of ‘C’ or better) The purpose of this class is to deepen the actor’s ability to express complex thought and true emotion through articulate speech. The class builds on work from Vocal Production for the Actor, solidifying the actor’s ability to perform challenging text. The study of phonetics is used to support these goals, and as the basis for future dialect study.
