TPP 1811 - Stage Speech II

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: TPP 1810 with grade of “C” or higher.
Building on the foundation skills and vocabulary introduced in TPP 1810, TPP 1811 is a continuation of the development of the actor’s voice to its full potential. Proper breath support and articulation continue to be particular points of focus. The International Phonetic Alphabet is introduced and used to correct speech problems as well as lay a foundation for dialect work. Cold reading and impromptu speaking skills are developed through exercise and assignments which allow the students to gain practical experience in front of an audience and with minimal preparation time. Finally, the elements of a vocal warm-up are introduced and explored. Students learn to prepare warm-ups tailored to the needs of their own voices.
