Introduction to Voice Skills

Integrated Voice Skills &amp; Viva/Vlog (Continuous and Presentation)

Integrated Voice Skills & Viva

In this module you will explore the voice, text and language. You will work to gain ownership of your voice, and liberate your expressiveness via practitioner techniques and exercises, working with relaxation, freedom and release. You will work
imaginatively with differing stimuli to examine the voice, and recognise the role that both body and mind play in generating sound, understanding its integration as an acting discipline. You will receive formative feedback throughout the module, at a number of assessment points during the module, in preparation for summative assessments.

For the first part of this module, you will find ownership of the voice by engaging with exercises and practitioner approaches that allow you to extend your range and vocal expression. 

Additionally, for the latter part of the module, you will uncover the importance of imagination and play, working to realise the voice as a storytelling tool, engaging with breath, sound and rhythm. As a result, you will generate a short scene, utilising the voice to demonstrate the integration of body and sound, evidencing range and imaginative vocal choices when working with language. You will provide a Viva (or vlog), giving analysis and reasoning for the artistic choices you made when creating your scene, identifying practitioner devices, as part of the actor’s preparation.
