MDIA 1060 — Vocalization and Diction for Broadcast Media 2 Credits
One of the most important uses of broadcast media is the dissemination of information critical to the public interest. Broadcasters' voices are a key to the ability for the public to understand the communication tool that is being made available, either by television, radio, or interactive presentation. This course develops methods and techniques pertinent in the art of vocal representation in these industries and explores, in depth, the art of reading for television/radio news and commercial narration. Through a partnership with Cable News Network (CNN), lecture, historical analysis, and practical application, this course provides the building blocks for effective media journalism.
