Image sound: specialisation
After a presentation of the evolution over time of the professions of sound post-production, editing and sound effects in cinema, students learn about the sound post-production process for a feature film. By the end of this course, they will have mastered the methodological and technical tools (sound editing tools, picture mixing) as well as the standards for a ready-to-broadcast project, so as to be able to work independently.

Through exploration of the instrument's repertoire, historical perspective and in-depth technical work, this course aims to develop mastery of the instrument and a critical approach to interpretation. Particular attention is paid to listening to one's body, in order to prevent the aches and pains associated with playing the instrument. The face-to-face teaching approach allows for personalised learning, helping each student to reach his or her full potential.
Working on stage
How do you get an audience to see a score? That's the whole point of the stage work course, which teaches how to tell stories using the sung voice and music. The game is to take the audience into the writing not only of the notes, but also of the poem. Each year, the students take part in an opera or a show written for the occasion. Combining practice (performance accompanied by piano) and theory (applied dramaturgy course), the teaching encourages students to sharpen their critical thinking and provides them with stage tools adapted to all the repertoires sung: opera, oratorio, lied, chanson, operetta, vocal ensemble, etc.
What makes a good stage presence? How does the audience believe, or not, in a story? Expression, movement, occupation of space and singing combine to bring characters to life. Exploring these different parameters, not forgetting aspects of dramaturgy and analysis of the works, the performers learn to share the stage with their partners to bring out a common energy, as well as understanding and reacting to a director's request. Becoming aware of the effects produced by one's performance enables them to play freely with it. By working on improvisation and stage expression, drawing on a wide variety of disciplines (drama, dance, Alexander technique, etc.), they are introduced to the notion of addressing an audience. Each year, the course leads to the creation and public performance of a show.
