These Master Classes will teach the fundamentals of vocal training for actors to develop a beautiful, strong, versatile instrument. In this workshop we will practice using poetry and passages from Shakespeare. Exercises will be given to develop the muscles of speech that result in clarity, confidence and versatility. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) will be studied to develop the actor’s sense of hearing.
