Praise for Benjamin Wayne Smith’s Actioning Masterclasses
University of Akron January, 2009
From University of Akron Students:
“Very informative, helpful, concisely delivered, constructive and fun!”
“I have gained a new perspective and approach to my study.
Thank you so much!”
Samantha
“I have definitely learned a great secret.
I always have trouble finding a deeper connection to a character
and you have really helped me.”
Jessica
From University
of Miami of Ohio Students:
“I never realized how much the emotion behind the
words truly
brings them to life. It was like listening to two completely different
songs-one dead and one alive.”
Abby
“This was an excellent masterclass!
It challenged my limits and made me think about the text of my songs.”
Emily
“As singers, we think about a million things at
once, and sometimes the prospect of adding acting to the mix can be
overwhelming and intimidating.
These techniques are simple, effective, and empowering.”
Megan
“I learned how to give arias and other classical
pieces expression.
It taught me that expression was not only limited to musical theater.”
