Voice 3 continues the development of technical and artistic excellence from year 1 Voice, with extension through exploration in singing lessons of music theatre repertoire and in spoken voice classes through application of technique to text work, which may begin to include dialects. Individual lessons continue, supporting the unique qualities of each student’s vocal qualities and giving specific attention to individual problem areas. Repertoire work will expand the student’s understanding of the range of approaches required vocally for music theatre voice usage and of technique needed to support a diverse range of material. In both speech and singing the student is expected to begin integrating vocal technique with acting demands to consider character, context, style and story in their vocal choices.
