In this class we will explore approaches to performing masc and femme voices, particularly when those identities diverge from our own embodied identity. We will look at pitch, resonance, oral posture, prosody and approaches to character, as well as identifying common pitfalls that hinder nuanced exploration of voices that aren’t part of our lived experience.

Instructor: Kat Littrell

Instructor Bio: Kat is an Australian-American voice actor and dialect coach. She teaches voice and acting at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and is currently completing her MFA in Voice Studies from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.
