<p>In freshman year of Voice & Speech at my son’s school, they do voice training as you describe, with a lot of Linklater work. Sophomore year of Voice & Speech they study the international phonetic alphabet, etc, first semester, and accents and dialects the second semester.</p>
<p>So in my son’s program, Voice is separated from Speech the same way you describe, but they are taught sequentially, with the class being called the same name both years.</p>
<p>I have noticed that some people who look at BFA Acting curricula online think that “Voice” means “singing” when it doesn’t!</p>
<p>Thanks for the good explanation, Son of Tranquil. Hopefully this will be useful to some of the prospectives on this forum.</p>
