Voice actors

well respected actors. I remember two striking exchanges with these actors which changed my view of them, or at least how I viewed myself in relation to their amazing talent. One actor I understudied is a man who is a joy to watch in any play. He is consistently employed around town performing drama and comedies, classical works and Shakespeare, contemporary plays and musicals; he can do it all. He work has been recognized with awards and he is a sought after teacher for other actors. If I…

Over the course of this unit I’ve continued to develop the range and flexibility of my voice and body. The new exercises taught in class have proved helpful in performance. By centring the breath and releasing muscular tensions I can prepare my body for performance. Deeper placement of the breath produces a clearer, unconstrained sound. Panting exercises help me settle into a deeper, more confident tone. Fascia feet massaging I’ve found to be a nice pre-show ritual. I’ve learned to be conscious…

seamless. One thing I enjoyed was during the lengthy set changes they would have a playlist of catchy music for the audience to listen to. The casting of the play was amazing. The robust, commanding voice of Cam Ward, as the washing machine repair man, was an excellent choice. Or the eccentric voice of Jake Gunning, and paired with his bright red hair, was a standout…

REHEARSE WITH THE ACTORS: The rehearsal of actors is an essential role in any production, particularly an absurdist play due to the intricacy of characters. Characters are a combination of multi dimensional tiers in addition to being stereotypes and simplistic. Characters are defined by their functions as their responses tend to be orientated to the action of the moment oppose to already known character specific instincts. Rhinoceros adds another layer of character complexity due to the…

accident that occurred prior to the play being introduced. Although there were many things in the play that caught my interest, the elements that were most crucial to the play was the set design and the acting. I think even though there were only 3 actors throughout the play and there wasn’t any big landscape changes, the play was entertaining and the acting was believable and well-done. I also believe that the setting of the play was an interesting choice because the only thing on the stage in…

feeling (which will naturally result as a by-product of doing). Adler claims it is important for actors to be always doing something on stage. They should translate the emotions of a character into equivalent actions. Each action must be justifiable and the actor…

merely a voice on the stage. Moreno stood to the side, reciting the lines of a young Michael, whose presence was only implied by the other actors. Moreno had a very powerful voice with great projection. He did have a deep voice, but he played his part well and he was able to make it believable that he was young Michael. Kate, played by Victoria Sasso, is the eldest sister and is a strict, devout Catholic. I felt indifferent to Sasso’s acting, but I do believe in the saying that if an actor can…

What is acting? What does it mean to be an actor? As Sanford Meisner stated, “acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Luckily for actors, theatre is something that can be enjoyed by just about everyone, just about everywhere. According to the Occupation Outlook Handbook between 2014 and 2024 the projected percent change in employment of actors is 10%. Which is faster than the average for all other professions which sits at 7%. Numerically this means that approximately…

when I grow up. An actor is someone who portrays and interprets roles using speech, body motions, and other skills. A musical theatre actor specializes in acting, while also singing and dancing to music. "In this career, you must memorize lines and actions from a script and perform them in the manner of the character you 're portraying. This job requires you to research characters, study script dialogue and rehearse performances so you may give an accurate character portrayal" ("Actor or…

faveourite background charcters was the nosy newspaper man. I understand that with many people in a play it’s hard to make all of the voices clear, but when some of the actors were talking I couldn’t make out what they were trying to say. The quiet voices made it harder to follow the smaller plot line of the play. “I find that a rising problem in today’s dramas is that actors…
