Voice and Speech: Breath, Presence, and Connection
Harvard Summer School
DRAM S-145
Section 1
CRN 35378
This is a practical, experiential, and studio-based course designed for students who wish to explore voice, speech, and text analysis for theater, film, television, or public speaking. Actors, business professionals, singers, or anyone desiring greater mastery of the voice benefit from the course. Emphasis is placed on helping each speaker find his or her own voice through developing personal specificity, precision, and storytelling ability. Students develop a deeper awareness of their physical and vocal habits; learn how to healthfully and sustainably use their voice; and learn tools to create variety and dynamics when speaking. Class activities include solo and partner exercises to enhance awareness of the body and muscles used for voice and speech, one-on-one in-class coaching of text and song, and discussion of assigned readings on voice, speech, and performance. Prior singing, acting, or speech experience is not required.
