The Art of Speaking

As a working laboratory with daily practice, we study the art of confidence and charisma, the anatomy of vocal production, how breath and articulation express action and emotion, how language and punctuation are a roadmap to communication, dispelling fears, and the strengths of vocal idiosyncrasies. This class provides necessary training for all artists: actors who must embody characters, movers who use text, writers and creators who speak about their work. With explorations in dialects, using microphones and filling large venues, we work toward performances which are clear, grounded, healthy, emotionally free and which draw attention.
