12 hours CE level continuing studies course Musical Theater students study singing techniques through vocal exercises and solo repertoire in a group voice class and laboratory for their musical theater performance class. This course may not be audited.
45.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course Linklater exercises are the basis of a course designed to help the student find his/her natural voice and to integrate body, breathing, voice, thought and feeling into expression through speech. The student is given a practical understanding of the voice and how it works. Tensions that inhibit primary impulses are uncovered and dismantled. The function of the articulators is studied and they are examined for blocks and exercised for release. Open to Acting majors only. This course is not repeatable for credit.

15.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course This course provides a basic understanding of how the voice works when either speaking or singing. Topics of consideration will include the anatomy and physiology of the vocal mechanism and its specialized subsystems of respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation. Common vocal problems and viable solutions will also be identified and discussed. Preventive voice care will be examined with a focus on designing a personal voice care maintenance plan that will ensure the preservation of the physical and mental aspects of voice use in both training and performance. This course is not repeatable for credit.
45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Practical training in speech for the stage. Emphasis on articulation and eliminating regionalisms. Through the course of the year, each student is expected to achieve a high degree of proficiency in General American Pronunciation by developing a working knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet. Resonance, placement, and range are developed. Particular attention is paid to ending consonants, equating length of thought and length of breath and key wording. Prerequisites THVC*112 or THVC*132, and THST*102 Open to Acting and Musical Theater majors only. This course is not repeatable for credit.

45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Practical training in diction and prosody focusing on the unique challenges for the singing actor to bring dynamic use of language through song. Exercises to identify, isolate, and manipulate components of speech production through the use of IPA and the structure of lyrics will bring an ease and clarity to the singer. Special attention is paid to consonants as they support rhythm, phonemes as they effect vocal resonance and placement, and rhyme as it affects vowel shape. Prerequisites THVC*132 Priority enrollment to Musical Theater Majors and Minors. This course is not repeatable for credit.
45.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course This course involves advanced voice work for actors. It will consist of a progression of breathing, voice and speech exercises designed to relax, connect, open-up and center the actor’s breathing and voice and add range, musicality energy and clarity to their speech. The physical and vocal work will then be applied to text in the form of Shakespeare sonnets and monologues as preparation for the Verse Drama Studio. Prerequisites THST*202 and THVC*212
45.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course This course is focused on voice acting and how the actor adapts their voice for different mediums (e.g. stage, video, voice-over, etc.). Curriculum builds on the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet, vocal connection, and text work. Material can address vocal work in dialects, genre/style, reading commercial copy, and vocal characterization. Prerequisites THVC*311 Open to Acting and Musical Theater majors only. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
45.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course The singing voice is the only instrument that is being built while it is played. The inability to physically touch the singing voice makes it difficult to learn and practice. What does the singing instrument look like? We will examine the anatomy and physiology of the singing voice as well as explore different methodologies and styles of vocal production. Part pedagogy and part performance, students will be challenged to make cogent observations and informed critiques of professional singers on recordings and performances by their peers as well as execute and display vocal improvement through performances of their own. Prerequisites THVC*232 This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
7.5 hours 300 level undergraduate course Individual (and, occasionally, small group) instruction in vocal techniques appropriate for the musical theater, culminating in a jury examination each semester. See THVC 131 & 132. Prerequisites THVC*232 Open to Musical Theater majors only. This course is not repeatable for credit.
