Methods of developing students' scenic skills in the framework of university vocal training

Abstract

In the context of the modernization of modern art, the problem of updating the methods of developing the scenic skills of vocal students seems to be urgent. Today, at the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, in the field of stage culture, direct, «live» communication between the performer and the audience, as well as high-quality acting training, which should be carried out during the period of study at a higher educational institution, comes to the fore. The ability to create a unique, vivid stage image distinguished outstanding musicians of the past, such as Fyodor Chaliapin, Galina Vishnevskaya, and many others. Their experience served as the basis for the formation of an approach to vocalist training in Russia, China and around the world. This singer-actor training system has proven its effectiveness, but it needs to be transformed taking into account the realities of the modern stage. The article discusses the trends of modern actor education and, on this basis, provides recommendations for the formation of an approach to teaching stagecraft to vocal students at the university.
