HB Studio’s suite of speech and voice classes strives to address the entire spectrum of physical impediment, mental growth, and creative exploration for a developing actor’s voice training.
Our voice classes cultivate deep physical self-awareness. You will explore your body’s relationship to healthy vocal production, vocal freedom, and unrestricted connection to sound and emotion. HB Studio’s Speaking Voice classes employ the destructuring and restructuring processes of Fitzmaurice Voicework®, as devised by Catherine Fitzmaurice.
HB Studio’s speech classes focus on an exploration of the physical actions of speech, helping you build skills in articulation and pronunciation for greater clarity and ease of expression. As these skills increase, you will build a flexible and sturdy foundation from which to handle a variety of vocal patterns and accents, increasing your range and capability on stage and within the theater marketplace.
For non-native English speakers or for actors working to modify their own naturalized accents and inflection, we offer specialized training focused on mastering a neutral and/or “General American” accent along with handling the particular challenges of acting in different accents or languages.
