PAATV1001 VOICE AND THE ACTOR 1
This core discipline introduces the interrelationship between body and voice through the study of breath, vocal anatomy, voice and speech technique and body mapping. It consists of a series of studio based practical exercises designed to liberate the student actor from the restrictive habits and tensions that prevent freedom of expression. Students will begin to develop the capacity to draw on a wide vocal range to ensure a rich, flexible and expressive voice, through the investigation of use of self and use of text. Students will learn how to work from a place of neutral awareness, to develop accurate psychophysical responsiveness in time and space, to release unhelpful physical and vocal habits as well as develop an authentic body/voice connection, a critical understanding of language and text, and an integration of acting into song.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
