Coaching Lab 1 is the first of two subjects that focus on the learning and application of a range of tools a vocal coach may need when working with actors towards performance.
Students undertaking this subject will observe masterclasses where professional coaches will work with actors on their vocal technique. Through these sessions, students will be exposed to a variety of pedagogical approaches. Students will engage in critical evaluation and practical application of vocal coaching strategies observed, through group-based tutorials and individual coaching sessions.
Students will be assessed on their engagement via reflective journaling of their own development through the semester, and through two examined practical coaching exercises.
Intended learning outcomes
Upon completion of this subject students should be able to:
- utilise a broad range of communication methods when working in coaching situations;
- critically evaluate the efficacy of multiple pedagogical approaches to voice and speech coaching;
- adapt practical vocal techniques flexibly to different performer's learning methods;
- contextualise the role of the vocal coach within the broader creative process.
