Introduction to Professional Voice & Speech Practice

Led by Matthew McBrier, this course will cover the fundamental principles underlying the use of the voice for professional acting. The aim is to develop awareness and prepare a tool-kit for a personal vocal development journey. In the voice lessons we will cover:

- Body alignment and release - Breathing and support - Phonation, resonance and range

The next phase will be to cover the basic sounds and symbols used in the International Phonetics Alphabet. Through this we will explore:

- Articulation - Received Pronunciation - Resources and methods for working with accents

Finally, we will work on individual challenges in a one-to-one session.
