ADVANCED SPEECH The students apply the skills of good speech to Shakespearean text. Using the Chorus speeches from Henry V, actors integrate the work with other disciplines being studied. Attention is given to the music of text, phrasing, inflection, rhythms, alliteration, assonance and consonance. Emphasis is on flexibility, knowing the demand of the text and remaining true to one’s emotional life. In the second semester, the knowledge of I.P.A. and basic good speech is applied to learning a variety of English dialects in common theatrical use. |
