Graduate Diploma in Voice Studies (GD-VOICEST)

The major focus of the GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN VOICE STUDIES is to extend the understanding of voice pedagogy and skills through experiential teaching and learning and to apply this to the discipline of performing arts and the students' own professional contexts. The course provides extensive skills and knowledge in the practice and implementation of vocal pedagogical skills to a professional standard and develops the students' ability to acquire effective diagnostic skills of their own voice and the capacity to transfer and implement these skills in a professional context. The Graduate Diploma has a strong emphasis on developing the students' ability to implement an approach to working with the relationship between voice, speech and text which demonstrates the underlying pedagogical principles of voice and speech. Students will have a thorough understanding of the relationship between the actor's voice and contemporary and classical texts and be equipped to work across a variety of professional performance contexts and settings. Entry to this course is upon completion of the Graduate Certificate in Voice Studies or equivalent professional experience.
