This course explores the power of voice as a tool for storytelling, expression, and connection. Through voice acting, public speaking, and audio storytelling, students will develop the skills to communicate clearly, confidently, and authentically.
Students will work on a range of projects including crafting personal narratives, recording audio pieces, practicing audition techniques, and developing performance skills for live and recorded settings. The class will include vocal warm-ups, exercises in projection and clarity, and opportunities to present work to an audience.
Grounded in Voice, Public Speaking, and Self-Awareness and Identity, students will:
Develop and express original ideas, using their voice to share personal stories, perspectives, and creative work.
Build confidence speaking in front of others, learning how to engage an audience, stay focused, and communicate clearly even under pressure.
Explore how identity, experience, and culture shape the stories we tell and the way we tell them.
Reflect on their own beliefs, values, and perspectives, while also learning to listen to and respect the voices of others.
Students will work toward attainments such as communicating ideas with clarity and confidence, engaging an audience through performance, crafting meaningful and original narratives, and developing a deeper understanding of their own voice and its role in their community.
This class is both creative and personal—an opportunity to strengthen your voice, tell your story, and be heard.
