Speech & Voice As A Means To Classical Text & Individual Expression:

The exploration of how you breathe and how to find your true voice. The fundamentals of vocal training for actors to develop a beautiful, strong, versatile instrument. Breath control and physical exercises designed to make the actor aware of vocal capabilities and possibilities. For the actor there must be the sound of truth in the voice that enters the language of the acting text in creating a character. In this workshop we will practice using poetry and passages from Shakespeare. Exercises will be given to develop the muscles of speech that result in clarity, confidence and versatility. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is studied to develop the actor’s sense of hearing. Please bring a hand mirror, pencil and notepad to each class and wear comfortable clothing to move in. Students may wish to bring a yoga mat or towel to use during sessions. An optional speech workbook by the author is available for $45 (cash only).

LENORE HARRIS - Ms. Harris was a protégé and assistant to the renowned phonetician and speech teacher Alice Hermes at HB Studio, as well as a speech, voice, and acting coach for leading theatre & film artists. She received her classical theater training with legendary master acting teachers, Stella Adler and Paul Mann and studied speech with Alice Hermes and Edith Skinner. Voice training with Marian Rich, Arthur Lessac and British teacher Elizabeth Smith. Shakespeare with Philip Burton, Fanny Bradshaw. Ms. Harris is on the faculty of HB Studio and the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre.
