This course includes the academic study and practical application of the efficient and effective use of the speaking voice, particularly in meeting the unique demands of acting for the stage. Along with an introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet, emphasis in physical relaxation, breathing techniques, vocal expression, and articulation will be covered with attention placed on the individual needs of each student. Focus will be placed on exercises designed to build awareness and adjust breath, diction, and conscious control of speech function. The theories and principles of the course will be applied through written assignments, oral performances, and vocal exercises done in class and at home. Attendance at live theatrical productions produced by the Fullerton College Theatre Arts Department is required. (Degree Credit) (CSU) (UC)
