In this subject, students adapt and reframe the skills they have acquired and integrate them into new creative contexts and media.
Students become familiar with audio studios including the role of directors and sound engineers, processes for production and post-production of voice in various contexts, techniques to optimize their vocal performance on microphone, and how to prepare for such work.
Dance classes expand the students’ physical vocabulary and ability to learn choreography. Technical classes support production work while continuing to build the strength and adaptability of the actor’s instrument. Through training tasks and exercises, students develop advanced acting, vocal and physical skills.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- adapt strong and flexible vocal support and physical presence for different performance contexts including screen and voice studio work;
- integrate authentic, consistent and detailed physical and vocal choices into script and character work;
- apply informed and imaginative choices for performance of a character incorporating behavioural actions and objectives;
- demonstrate a professional ethos in independent and collaborative work.
