Vocal Production II

The class endeavors to impart a vocal technique that is open, free, flexible, lively and possessing an extensive and colorful range. Vocal production is a dynamic vocal technique specifically designed to compliment the work of the Method actor. The goal of the course is to develop an open and embodied instrument and provide every artist with an effective “neutral,” allowing for optimal exploration of human emotion and physical expression. This class continues the work begun in Vocal Production including exploration and exercises in relaxation, alignment, respiration, phonation, support, registration, resonation, and articulation. In addition, this year of “application” places an enhanced attention on clear speech and expressive language use. Further, dramatic material and storytelling are called upon as devices through which to inspire and enhance the sensorial experience of form, structure, rhythm, tempo, and dynamic variety.
