theatre major
if a college says you need to take a course in "Voice" (for an acting/theatre major), does this mean that it is singing, or is it something else? this is a description:
voice 1:
Basic work on freeing the actor’s natural voice. Alignment, relaxation, breathing, production of vibration, exercises in recognizing habits and beginning to free the voice from physical and psychological tension. Exploration of vocal expression and emotion. Fundamentals of voice/text work.

The class wont be about singing, although it probably will have some aspects in it that seem similar to singing like exercises in tone and dynamics or exercises that include making different kinds of noises at a specific pitch.
The real clue is the last line: "Fundamentals of voice/text work." Text means the text of the play, the script, and the words you will be saying. Songs aren't often referred to as being or having 'text'. That is what makes me pretty sure there will be no (or at least very little) actual singing in that course, there will probably be a different course for singing.

I don't know for sure if that class would be singing. I would assume some of it is, but I would guess that it would also include things like expressing emotion through your speaking voice, like being able to get different emotions across without having to be seen etc.
