WORKSHOP: Voice & Speech for the Actor
Want to be heard with clarity and confidence, and vocally transform into your character? Join LA-based performer and teaching artist Paul Turbiak for a Voice & Speech Workshop designed to meet you where you are. You’ll build awareness, tools, and a reliable framework for freeing your natural voice, being fully heard and understood, and making bold, character-driven vocal choices. Come ready to move in comfortable clothes, and bring a short, memorized piece – a monologue, poem, or song – that makes you feel something when you speak it.
REGISTERAs part of the Kayenta New Play Lab’s mission to support generative artists and develop new theatrical work, we’re excited to offer two exclusive workshop sessions designed specifically for actors. These Monday evening workshops are led by visiting theater professionals from outside the region—each bringing unique expertise in performance, process, and the development of new work.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or an actor looking to deepen your craft, these sessions are an opportunity to learn from nationally recognized artists, explore new techniques, and connect with the creative process at the heart of new play development.
