Gallery 7 Theatre in Abbotsford is hosting their final workshop of the 2016/2017 Theatre Bootcamp Series, Vocal Performance for Actors, starting March 28.
Tailored for emerging and established theatre artists, the course will run for three Tuesday evenings, 7 to 10 p.m.
“This workshop is probably the most important course in our series this year,” explains Gallery 7 Theatre Artistic Director, Ken Hildebrandt.
“The voice is the actor’s primary tool for communicating character and dialogue so it goes without saying that this tool should be kept sharp.”
Vocal Performance for Actors will help emerging and established performers develop more advanced skills in vocal production as they pertain to breath support, diction, projection, voice care and preparing for a performance. Understanding the psychological and emotional relationship with voice will also be explored.
Leading the workshop is Erla Faye Forsyth. A graduate of Studio 58, she has performed in numerous productions over the years at Pacific Theatre in Vancouver, including The Foreigner and How to Write a New Book for the Bible for which she received Jessie Richardson awards. Other credits include It’s a Wonderful Life for the Arts Club and Since You Left Us for Presentation House Theatre.
Cost of the workshop is $125 per person.
