Voice training practices "Uludag University sample" in universities providing theatre training in Turkey

Abstract

Theatre is the art of animating a story with the words and movements of the actors in a place set aside as a stage. It is specified in many resources that this art arising from rituals in which stories about gods were animated by one or more actors arose from the choir performing music and the dialogue of the actor and that the appearance of it goes back to the years before Christ. Therefore, music has always been an inseparable part of theatre. Theatre has many branches of art within it and from this aspect, it necessitates a comprehensive and multi dimensional education. One of these dimensions is voice training which an important part of music education is also. In this research, voice training practices and their place in programs in universities providing theatre training in Turkey have been researched, and the subject has been attended to within the scope of Uludag University.
