Abstract| This subject extends the participants' critical understanding of a range of media production procedures and presentational issues associated with digital media production, seminar presentations and 'in-role' communication through live and recorded media performances. COM119 develops core production, presentation, and digital media competencies that prepare undergraduates for second and third level subjects in all strands of the BA (Communication). Approaches to voice production are introduced to develop awareness of breath control, relaxation, body alignment and voice projection for live performances and mediated presentations. |
