THEA 2030 - Musical Theatre Performance I

Institution:

Pennsylvania Western University

Subject:

Theatre

Description:

Building upon the skills acquired in MUSI 1040, Musical Theatre Performance I will begin the specific and focused study of the voice as it relates to musical theatre performance. Not only will the course provide continued focus on the voice and its use in both speaking and singing, but it will incorporate the study of selected musical theatre repertoire and its application of the Cohen method of acting. Using the Estill Voice Model, students will study in greater depth the anatomy and physiology of the vocal mechanism, demonstrate voluntary control of vocal structures, and apply these skills and knowledge to both spoken text and sung lyrics. Likewise, students will develop a working philosophy and vocabulary that emphasizes maintaining vocal health and utilizing vocal tools to achieve artistry in musical theatre performance.
