Speech Foundations in Performance

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture) This course reinforces a progressive curriculum of experiential learning, building upon the foundations of voice and text explored in the third year courses. Various text-based and performance-based experiential learning opportunities continue as students learn new skills related to speech. Proficiency in speech action is developed by learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and exploring practical speech action in studio. Students can expect to enhance their understanding and execution of articulatory-speech action and how this work connects to self, identity, character, storytelling, and performance. Restrictions: Honours Form Required.
