Care and Good Use of the Voice (Members) £50.00 £40.00
Are you looking after your voice? Do you really know how to?
Teachers like actors are professional voice users but unlike actors do not always get any kind of training to help them care for their voice. For teachers the voice is a very powerful instrument for control and for setting an immediate classroom ethos. For drama teachers the voice is even more valuable as a source of signalling mood, commitment, persuasion and for working in role effectively. But do you know how to get the best out of your voice?
This evening course offers you some excellent practical guidelines in how to look after your voice and use it to better effect in teaching and other circumstances.
Amanda Kipling has been a secondary drama teacher and is currently the leader of the PGCE Drama Course at Goldsmiths College. She specialised in voice at Central School of Speech and Drama, has been a member of the English Speaking Board for many years and is a former editor of ESB’s Speaking English magazine and a Trustee of London Drama.
