CPPSV1001 Foundation Skills Voice Studio 1
This unit is an introduction to Voice, a studio-based practice in Performing Arts, divided into two strands: Spoken Voice and Singing. The commencement of training grounds the emerging performer in process-based experiences and activities that are designed to open creative pathways. Students encounter holistic vocal practices and methodologies that will introduce and develop core skills. Spoken Voice introduces vocal, verbal, imaginative and physical integration through the understanding of vocal anatomy, body mapping, breath, and voice and speech technique. It consists of a series of practical exercises designed to liberate the emerging performer from the restrictive habits and tensions that prevent freedom of expression. Singing develops physical and vocal integration through study of vocal anatomy and the respiratory system, singing technique, vocal ensemble, and repertoire. Participating in practical activities, students will begin to develop the capacity to draw on a wide vocal range to ensure a rich, flexible, and expressive voice.
