Voice and Speech: On Stage/On Camera
To be louder, or not to be louder, that is not the question. Can your Voice handle the truth? That is the question. And by freeing your Voice and claiming ownership of that freed Voice in relation to space, the answer to “can your Voice handle the truth?” is one big: YES.
In this 8-hour intensive, your Voice can and will handle the truth as Mr. Coury guides you on stage & on camera through his pioneering exercises that focus on body, breath, personalization, and imagination. In real time your real Voice will emerge as you are released from the rigid “speak-this-way-only” approach and introduced to exciting and practical ways of refining your instrument in your daily life and craft. All the habits that have inhibited your speech will be replaced by healthy habits, and you’ll have access to what Mr. Coury cites as “the unused Voice that is the source of much tension–physically and mentally.”
“The core of the Actor’s craft is the ability to understand the truth and then articulate that truth. That the Voice doesn’t collapse but can soar in any room and location during these ‘moments of truth’ is what makes great acting.” –David Coury
Learn with ease how your Voice can soar by:
● Improving your Sound, Stamina, Range & Power
● Creating a Daily Vocal Regimen
● Overcoming your nerves and vocal issues
● Exploring your On-Camera Voice and Volume
● Mastering Ownership of Space
● Erasing the gap between the Voice discipline and the Acting discipline
