TH 201 - Voice and Speech

This course will focus on the sounds of Standard American English with an eye to giving the student the tools to speak clearly and effectively. The student will learn to minimize regional or international accents. The course will also concern itself with finding the full range of one’s own “natural” speaking voice, and how to avoid vocal strain by using the voice freely, clearly, effectively, and powerfully in daily conversation, in the classroom, in public speaking, and in performance.
