THEA 1374 - Singing for the Actor II

Credits: 2

This course will focus on song interpretation (paraphrasing, subtexting, given circumstances, emotions, images, and releasing) and articulation (vowels and consonants). The singing fundamentals learned in the first part of the series (relaxation, alignment, breath, and placement of resonance) will continue to be employed throughout this course. This course will facilitate an atmosphere in which students can form confidence in their abilities to act while singing a heightened text. These personal abilities will be enhanced as the student learns to apply the fundamental techniques of singing. This course will also teach the student versatility and clarity in several styles of music. Finally, this course will prepare students to perform songs in various styles and contexts successfully.
