Book excerpt: The complete dramatic toolbox for the opera singer – a step-by-step guide detailing how to create character, from auditions through to rehearsal and performance and formulate a successful career. Drawing upon the innovative approach to the training of young opera singers developed by Martin Constantine, Co-Director of ENO Opera Works, The Opera Singer's Acting Toolkit leads the singer through the process of bringing the libretto and score to life in order to create character. It draws on the work of practitioners such as Stanislavski, Lecoq, Laban and Cicely Berry to introduce the singer to the tools needed to create an interior and physical life for character. The book draws on operatic repertoire from Handel through Mozart to Britten to present practical techniques and exercises to help the singer develop their own individual dramatic toolbox. The Opera Singer's Toolbox features interviews with leading conductors, directors, singers and casting agents to offer invaluable insights into the professional operatic world, and advice on how to remain focused on the importance of the work itself.

Book Synopsis A Systematic Approach to Voice by : Kari Ragan
Download or read book A Systematic Approach to Voice written by Kari Ragan and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Systematic Approach to Voice: The Art of Studio Application is a professional resource presenting a framework for the integration of science-informed principles of voice production and pedagogical application in the training of singers. Author Dr. Kari Ragan has spent years using this organizational template of the five voice systems—respiration, phonation, registration, articulation, and resonance—to identify technical challenges and design corrective vocal exercises in order to facilitate efficient singing. Each of the voice system chapters contains a brief overview of the mechanics as well as key points for teachers, or “teacher takeaways.” The book’s core offering is vocal exercises which, framed within a systematic approach, provide strategies for the art of studio application. The intent is an approach that leads to technically proficient singing working in service of great artistry. Key Features: * Over 85 vocal exercises for studio application framed within a systematic approach for both a CCM and classical aesthetic * Brief overview of the mechanics of each voice system and relevant “teacher takeaways” * Extensive discussion on semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) exercises * Introduction of several kinesthetic singing tools * Eight sample warm-up protocols designed for various levels of singers and both CCM and classical genres * Video demonstrations for each vocal exercise and sample warm-up
Download or read book The Empty Voice written by Leon Major and published by Amadeus. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Amadeus). Opera is a singer's medium, but it comes to life on the stage. Composers write complex and detailed musical scores that are grounded in stories of passion and conflict, suffering and joy, forgiveness and despair. Acting is crucial to the experience audiences have in the theatre. Thanks to surtitles, audiences can now easily follow the dialogue and the story. Therefore, more is expected from the singers than just great voices: we expect them to embody the characters they are singing. Without character, singers' voices are empty, however beautiful they may be. This book offers opera singers a method and the tools that will assist them in developing their roles and the dramatic action of a scene. Musical and acting clues provide the foundation for creating characters. When singers study a libretto for acting clues and the score for musical clues they gain greater insight into their roles and have a better understanding of the music and a finer perception of the dramatic shape of their scenes. The methods and tools are demonstrated in an analysis of key scenes from selected operas. These examples are basic for the preparation for all characters in all operas, voice types, or time periods. The techniques offered will give the singer means to examine characters in depth, plot, and the conflicts in any scene. Singers who have that foundation are more relaxed, confident, focused and able to sing better.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Acting in Opera: Its A-B-C, With Descriptive Examples, Practical Hints and Numerous Illustrations Now, the human body's capacity for varied expression is extensive, but this variety is formed through differing combinations of a relatively few primary positions and movements of the trunk, head, and limbs. Some of these I wish to dissect and explain, subsequently indicating their use in connection with the poetical text and the musical phrase of Opera, after which a few practical sug gestions for stage deportment will follow. The beginner, once in possession of these fundamentals, will find them applicable to parts of widely dif ferent character. This modest work does not pretend to catalogue all, or even a majority, of the phases of plastic art applicable to Opera. It but aims to disclose to the neophyte the possi bilities of this art and the principles its foundation.

Download or read book Acting for Singers written by David Ostwald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-07 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written to meet the needs of thousands of students and pre-professional singers participating in production workshops and classes in opera and musical theater, Acting for Singers leads singing performers step by step from the studio or classroom through audition and rehearsals to a successful performance. Using a clear, systematic, positive approach, this practical guide explains how to analyze a script or libretto, shows how to develop a character building on material in the score, and gives the singing performer the tools to act believably. More than just a "how-to" acting book, however, Acting for Singers also addresses the problems of concentration, trust, projection, communication, and the self-doubt that often afflicts singers pursuing the goal of believable performance. Part I establishes the basic principles of acting and singing together, and teaches the reader how to improvise as a key tool to explore and develop characters. Part II teaches the singer how to analyze theatrical work for rehearsing and performing. Using concrete examples from Carmen and West Side Story, and imaginative exercises following each chapter, this text teaches all singers how to be effective singing actors.

CHAPTER VII "coming On" And "going Off" Stage; How To Take Other Side Of Stage; The Feet; General Remarks. "coming On" And "going Off" Stage In stepping onto the stage from the wings, be sure that your "up-stage" leg or boot conies first into the audience's view; and when coming onto stage with an arm raised, let it always be the up-stage arm (see illustrations, page 46). Thus, if you came on from the left wings--i. e., to the audience's left--your raised arm would be the left one, and your left leg or foot would step out first into view. The above rule holds good for the arm, but not for the leg, when you "come on" retreating, walking, running, or staggering backward in fright, apprehension, bewilderment, or in an unbalanced state. In coming on thus backward it is the up-stage arm that would be raised, but it is the down-stage leg that first appears, and the face would be slightly turned down-stage unless there be a special reason for the contrary. If one comes on gaily--in the guise of a peasant or a gondolier, or of any character not burdened by a sense of his dignity and importance--one can skip on, precisely as a child skips, waving one's hat; up-stage leg and waving, up-stage arm come first into view, unless the up-stage arm happens to be around a dainty peasant waist or reposing on a muscular peasant shoulder. The same general rule holds for "going off" stage: the up-stage leg takes you out of sight of the audience, and the up-stage arm makes the final gesture; because, if made with the downstage arm, your head would be hidden by it from the audience. In "going off" backward, the downstage leg takes the step that carries the body out of the audience's sight. How To Cross To Right Or Left Your taking the other side of the stage, in...
