Preparing the voice and speech style of a particular role is a process that has a number of factors to consider, particularly if the performer is playing multiple parts in a production. This session will offer educators both theoretical and practical approaches to finding a character voice that suits the needs of the role. This process will lead to enriched storytelling and guide the performer toward an expanded range of vocal expression.
