VOICE AND ACTING INFORMATION PAGE
*There is a basic dress code for Voice and Drama Classes. Please see "Dress
codes"page
VOICE
* Voice lessons are beneficial
for not only individuals wishing to become better singers, but for actors, pastors, public speakers or anyone who wishes to
obtain a stronger, more sustainable voice.
Our goal
for both group and private voice classes is to provide each student the proper singing technique, breathing and
support, vocal placement, pitch, blend, musicality, ear training and music theory. Forte Studios offers classes for
all levels of voice for students ages 7 & up.
Students will focus
on several different styles of music such as Musical Theater, Vocal Jazz, Pop, Country, etc. all
of which will be based on a strong foundation of proper singing.
GROUP
CLASSES: are 30-45 minutes in length and are typically divided into the following age categories: 7-9, 10-12, &
Teens.
PRIVATE VOICE: (11 years of age
and up)
Spaces are limited
and are offered for our intermediate/advanced students only. One on one instruction provides students with more personal attention to
detail. Music theory is offered to those which are excelling in private voice.
* All private voice lessons are 30 minutes in length. At no additional
cost, students will also participate in a group class with other students who take private lessons.
*Please note that due to time constraints, only 2 missed private lessons per
quarter per student can be made up. If a student is not attending his/her private lesson on a regular basis, the instructor
reserves the right to discontinue lessons with that student.
DRAMA
Involvement
in Acting classes offers students a fun way to better their communication skills, learn respect for themselves
and for others in a teamwork setting, gain confidence and better self-expression, be inspired to read and learn proper techniques
for performing on stage. Students will gain respect for the art of acting and who knows…..maybe we will be watching
your little one on the big screen someday!
Ages 7-9 - 45 Min.
This class introduces the young actor to the world of theatre using fun and innovative theatre games.
The class will stretch your child’s creativity and imagination as they learn the fundamentals of theatre and
grow more comfortable with who they are on and off stage. They’ll learn different acting techniques,
perform fairy tales in pantomime, stage scenes, jump into improv acting, and do lots of other things—and have lots of
fun in the process!
Ages 10-12 - 60 Min.
The world of theatre is exciting, challenging, and ever-changing. Whether students
are “seasoned” performers or are new to acting, they’re all welcome to take this class and experience what
theatre has to offer. Students will have the opportunity to learn the basics of theatre, the art of pantomime, the thrills
of improvisational acting, and the importance of creating a cohesive team, using high-energy activities. Along with all of
the above, students will rehearse and perform monologues, duet scenes, and group scenes. This course is
for anyone who is interested in theatre, performing, being challenged, having fun, trying new things or who just
want to take an awesome class.
Teen Class Ages 13 + (No experience required, )
- 60 Min.
If
you’re in middle school or high school and looking for something new to try, this class is a great way to learn about
theatre, performance…and maybe even yourself. We’ll write, perform, and record commercials, prepared and ‘cold’
auditions, and staged ‘blooper reels.’ You’ll learn the ins and outs of the play-staging process, from the
secrets of a successful audition to advanced acting techniques. The major focus will be on how to create a successful character,
especially playing against your own personality type. If you’re looking to practice self-expression and build your confidence
in a safe and supportive environment, this is the class for you.
