    Phase Two Evaluation

    You will need to pass an in-person and written vocal health test. The instructor will also review your teaching, knowledge of the VCT progression, and assess your ability to go on to the next phase to be certified in VCT.

    This phase will comprise two sections. The first is the physical methods of VCT to help actors. The second will be an exam where you illustrate your ability to illustrate the required sounds in a healthy manner both vocally and physically.

    Phase Three: In-person Final Evaluation

    Provided you completed all of the training and passed the established evaluation criteria you will be invited to participate in the final in-person training phase which is the final step to certification.

    Should the instructor feel that you are not yet ready to move on to the next phase, you will be asked to review your notes and training videos, observe prescribed classes, and then retake the test. There is no added cost to retaking the test up to two times. If you do not pass after two additional times, the VCT reserves the right to discontinue training.
