A Week as a Student
Your Voice and Acting Speech class starts with intense diaphragmatic breathing and resonance exercises. Professor Miller offers a quick note on projecting from your gut, not your throat, as you struggle with a low tone. Later, Movement class pushes your physical limits; you stumble during a trust fall exercise but laugh it off. The evening is spent dissecting a new script for Scene Study, highlighting motivations and beats for tomorrow’s prep.
