Portfolio and Presentation of two accent studies

Portfolio - Accent Studies

The module is made up of three parts: 
1. Speech The students will be asked to further develop their neutral template. They will be also introduced to a variety of accents and dialects. This will be undertaken both as a way of broadening their employment opportunities and also of enhancing their understanding of vocal systems, patterns and processes. 

2. Voice Building on from the students work in year one (level 4) students will develop their voice by its application to a broader and more complex range of text based material. The activities will focus on precision, flexibility, and a more complex understanding of the relationship between the voice, meaning, intention, creativity and expressivity.  
3. Singing In singing students will continue to explore the core technical vocal skills required for singing including: Range, Pitch, Rhythm, Resonance, Projection, Articulation, Harmony and Musicality. 
Building on from their previous studies students will be introduced to a more complex range of repertoire, which will require higher levels of skill in harmony, musicality texture and, musical colour. 

The module will also start to explore the concept of acting through song. A substantial part of the students’ studies will take the form of preparation for public choral and solo performance.
