Voice Training for Teachers

Event Speaker(s): 
Claudine Marais
Sunday, June 27, 2010 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm

(Joint meeting with ETJ)
Abstract: This workshop is designed to introduce participants to voice techniques used to train actors, but have been adapted for the lifestyle and demands of teachers. They will learn how to improve their projection and articulation; develop a voice that students want to listen to; subconsciously affect the quality of students’ speech; as well as protect their voices from long-term damage.

During her four years at the UCT Drama Department, she received extensive voice training under Liz Mills, Yvonne Banning and Anthea Haupt.
