Description

The role:

The National Conservatoire of Wales is looking for a dynamic and experienced individual to provide leadership in the planning, teaching, assessing Voice, Speech & Text across a range of modules in the Acting and Musical Theatre departments, contributing to the currency and world-leading position of the curriculum.

The post-holder will have a proven and verifiable record of work as a voice, text and dialect coach with performers for a range of different media and in both a professional and/or drama training context. They will need to be passionate advocates for conservatoire education and be ready to work collaboratively with all RWCMD colleagues and professional partners in order to enable and promote an institutional reputation for pioneering, immersive professional education in Music and Drama.

The Acting Department encompasses undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Acting for Stage, Screen and Radio and Musical Theatre. Over the last 15 years the department has developed into one of the UK’s leading providers of Acting training. With the appointment of Jonathan Munby in 2020, leading the Acting programme as Director of Performance and Artistic Director of The Richard Burton Company (RWCMD’s professionally-focused theatre company), the College is looking to expand the courses it offers, establish more meaningful partnerships across the UK and develop further its international reputation.
