Summary/Abstract: Acting is a skill that demands the correct use of the voice. The voice of an actor should be clear, resonant, and full so that the audience can understand the interpretation. A well-projected voice for actors is what this study is about. As it is known, the singing voice has many common aspects with the spoken voice. This article describes a study performed with a group of students from the Drama Department of the University of Évora to understand if the practice of singing voice would help the projection of spoken voice and consequently the interpretation of young actors.
