The Actor’s Voice with Alex Wright

Learn how to distinguish, develop, and apply the physiological processes of voice production as it relates to breath, vocal support, and resonance, while also beginning to analyze and modify personal vocal strengths and weaknesses.

Through monthly sessions students will begin to build upon concepts, creating a consistent voice “work-out” to stay tuned into physical awareness, healthy vocal production, vocal freedom, and vocal power.
