COURSE PROGRAM
VOICE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE VOCAL APPARATUS.
Voice is not the presence of vocal cords and the ability to use them to produce sounds and words. It is a powerful tool to influence a person or a group of people. With just a voice actors involved in radio plays and podcasts lead their listeners to believe in the existence of their characters and the reality of their experiences.
The Speech Technique course includes voice training – learning to control tone, volume, and range. As a result, you gain the skill to feel your vocal cords, control all the characteristics of your voice and effortlessly withstand long periods of vocal stress.
BREATHING AND ARTICULATION TRAINING
Even the wide range of the voice and its rich modulations are rendered helpless if untrained breathing requires you to interrupt your speech to take a breath. Such pauses out of a logical or emotional context make the speaker or actor nervous, and reduce audience engagement.
The Speech Technique course includes sessions on practicing and maintaining proper tempo, breathing depth, and control of the “flow” of air during the delivery of long phrases. The result is free speech which is interrupted for breath in an exceptionally measured way: the pauses become logical and fit naturally into what you say.
VOICE EXPRESSION DEVELOPMENT
The tone, the volume of the voice, the expressiveness of its emotional coloring is what turns ordinary words and phrases into something to which the listener or viewer cannot remain indifferent. “Fog”, “breakfast”, “sickness” and any other word pronounced with the right expression can acquire a very different meaning – from tragic, to romantic.
Classes on the development of expressiveness of the voice make it possible to operate with the emotional component of what is said and thus control the emotional response of the audience.
EXPANSION OF VOCABULARY
Awkward pauses in an attempt to remember the necessary word, filling in speech “empty spaces” with interjections, resorting to slang and trash words – all this is capable of significantly reducing the persuasiveness of the speaker, actor, teacher, etc. Speech loses its emotional continuity and fluidity, which does not allow you to fully interest the audience and even tires it out.
