Speech

Course open to MFA2 Acting Program students only.
The work in the Fall semester of this course
further solidifies students' execution of Good
Speech while introducing them to triphthongs,
traditional pronunciations in Elizabethan
language and to language techniques, such as
Sense Stress and Inflections. The focus is on
speaking poetic texts, both classical and modern,
with clarity and specificity, in sound production
and in meaning. Students are required to have
gained proficiency in their execution of Good
Speech by this point in their Speech training.
Additionally, they are expected to have
established an effective personal practice
regimen and are evaluated partly on that basis.
