University of the Ozarks students in professor Rebecca Bailey’s voice and diction class are putting their skills and training to use while also entertaining area children.
The students are reading children’s books to their young audience members via Zoom each Thursday for three consecutive weeks in April. The reading project is in partnership with the Johnson County Public Library (JCPL).
Bailey, assistant professor of theatre, said the students are using techniques from
Vocal Viewpoints by acting theorist Anne Bogart.
“It’s exciting to watch them learn the techniques and then implement them in the reading of the stories online,” Bailey said. “With the pandemic, all readings are over Zoom, but we’ve had several children tune in each week. We have a variety of stories from different cultures and for a variety of ages.”
