Term 2 ends on Saturday June 28; and Term 3 commences from Tuesday July 15, after the two week winter semester break. The Monday Extension class returns on July 21.<\/p>\n

This year has seen more emphasis placed on voice and movement: two of the vital components necessary for a powerful performance. A clear and confident speaking voice with timbre and tonality and a body free of blocks can be the difference between a good actor and a great actor, and we will continue to work on these important components during Term 3.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, some words of wisdom from Al Pacino\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"AlAl\u2019s right. To be an accomplished actor you must be an emotional athlete \u2013 free from emotional, physical and vocal blocks. You must also be fearless and unafraid of making \u201ca fool of yourself,\u201d as the most affecting performances are powerful and fearless.<\/div>\n
VOICE, ARTICULATION AND MOVEMENT MASTER CLASS REVIEW<\/h5>\n

The Voice, Articulation and Movement<\/i> master class was held over 4 by 4 hour sessions over the last 3 Sundays of May and the first Sunday of June. Tutored by Australia\u2019s leading voice and accents coach Bill Pepper<\/i> and by choreographer\/dancer\/actor Natalia Ladyko<\/i>, the course was fun, challenging and intensive. The noticeable improvement in speaking voice and physicality gained by the participating students has been clearly obvious in their on-camera performances since completion of the course.<\/p>\n

Well done to students Paul Millett, Trevor Shipton, Laura Tate, Juvahn Victoria, Jessica Reid, Meredith Cox and Ksenia Polansky<\/em> for their hard work and subsequent practical use of the skills learned from Bill and Natalia.<\/p>\n

MONDAY EXTENSION CLASS<\/h5>\n

The Monday Extension class is gaining popularity amongst our most committed students, not only as an additional class each week, but as a means to fast track their acting skills. The class is suitable for Intermediate to Advanced level teen, young adult and adult students. The extension class is a beneficial way to gain additional on-camera experience, while working from a different curriculum to every other class. I\u2019m pleased to announce that the Monday extension students have adapted well to the challenging curriculum and the class is growing and thriving from term to term.<\/p>\n
