Training the Passaggi of Classical Genre Voices
Thursday 29th June 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This class will be focused on practical pedagogic strategies for training voices in smooth negotiation of range.
Special attention will be given to those transitions, both laryngeal and acoustic, that challenge efficient function.
While we will be primarily attending to the aesthetic targets of the classical genre, the strategies included are relatively genre neutral and can be adapted to any styles seeking a smooth, even traversing of the range.
Basic elements of acoustic vocal pedagogy will be referenced, but previous exposure to the principles of acoustic pedagogy as routinely presented by Bozeman will be assumed.

Learn to Coach RP and SSBE – a Certificate in Accent Coaching

This six-week course is an opportunity to learn about both Received Pronunciation and Standard Southern British English. Rather than a course in learning how to speak RP/SSBE (there are many brilliant available courses for this already), this course is about learning how to coach it.

Acting Emotion: Perspectives from the Masters
Louisa Morgan
Stanislavski said, “our artistic emotions are, at first, as shy as wild animals and they hide in the depths of our souls.” Michael Chekhov said, our bodies should be like a “sensitive membrane, a kind of receiver and conveyor of the subtlest images, feelings, emotions and will impulses.” And Meisner said we should be “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Join Louisa Morgan in this 2-part course as she explores a range of well-known acting practitioners to investigate what they believed (or believe) about emotion and how they approached it in their work. She'll compare their work to see where they align and where they diverge.

Living truthfully in the present moment: An introduction to the Meisner Technique!
Abigail Sugden
Sanford Meisner believed that acting is living truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Rooted in behavioural aspects of acting practice, the Meisner Technique is often associated with encouraging actors to live truthfully in the present moment. Aimed at those working within the field of acting, this 2-hour session with Abigail Sugden will focus on the work of Sanford Meisner, introducing the core principles of his technique and discussing the possible benefits to performers.
