These classes are traditional exercises aimed at educating the student in the skill of using the voice. The course includes: breathing and singing exercises, exercises developing the range and timbre of voice, evening out vowel registers, achieving a steady and clear intonation. The aim of the course is to create an expressive, dynamic, vivid stage voice,
which creates the opportunity to express one’s thoughts, moods, emotions, intentions and feelings. The tasks are based on performing exercises aimed at developing proper breathing, loosening up and releasing a natural voice emission. Apart from the technical aspect of sound, an important component is voice awareness, as well as the imagination and
emotions associated with it. Cooperation with the body is also extremely important here (the body as the source of voice – breathing; releasing the voice; resonators, etc.
