Description
This activity is closed to further registration.
Are you an actor between the ages of 9 and 15?Are you available after school Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4pm to 6pm?Then what are you waiting for?Sign up now for one (or more) of the Majestic Theatre’s Youth Production Company’s Spring mini-sessions! Our Spring MTYP program is divided into three two-week sessions to allow young thespians who are unable to commit to six-week sessions to have a chance to shine onstage! Students may sign up for more than one session if they so choose. Rather than a full weekend performance, on the last Thursday of the mini-sessions students will showcase their hard work right after the final class. Families and friends are welcome to join us in the Rehearsal room from 6:30-7:00 for the showcase. Each session is designed to focus on building skills in one of three main elements of acting: movement, voice, and character. This session is dedicated to voice and accents. Students will learn fundamental voice techniques to improve diction, projection, and expressiveness, with the primary focus on learning one of the most commonly required accents in theatre: the classical British accent. Through fun, interactive exercises, students will explore the “signature sounds” of the British accent, breaking down the vowel and consonant patterns, rhythms, and inflections. While focusing on learning one accent, students will build the skills necessary to learn any accent that interests them! The workshop will end with students performing scenes and monologues from classical plays in British accents.
