You cannot separate the voice from the person. Each voice is the unique expression of the individual personality. Our courses are designed to allow each individual to fully explore their own voice and to discover and develop their unique style of presentation. We encourage each participant to recognize any unhelpful physical or vocal habits that limit their ability to communicate with confidence and ease. You will learn techniques to improve the quality and tone of the voice and to develop greater flexibility, clarity and depth of connection with your audience.

Additionally, we will work on options for shaping your content for maximum impact, so you can achieve your potential. All of these techniques will be  as we explored in a supportive environment with guided feedback. Our ZOOM class options will also cover techniques to improve online camera presentation.

Course #9: Public Speaking (5-weeks) LIVE and One ZOOM class (Current course in progress, filled)

CLASS SIZE LIMITED TO ONLY 8 STUDENT MAXIMUM FOR BEST LEARNING PRACTICE.
COVID procedures will be in place for live classes including ventilation, sanitizing and a HEPA air filter in place in the studio.
DESCRIPTION:
Sharing your ideas with others can be challenging for some people.
Even those with experience may seek to improve the quality of their content for maximum impact, or to manage nervous tension. Whether it is for a work presentation, a sales pitch, a job interview, a wedding speech, an academic paper or for personal development - our courses will give you the specific tools that you need and a "safe" place to practice them.

The tutor, Kathleen Warner Yeates, has coached top level executives in Google, Microsoft, ECB, and many more, to improve vocal quality, shape content and release excess nervous tension.

In this practical interactive course, students will be given the techniques and opportunity to engage with their audience with confidence and poise, increase vocal resonance, manage nervous tension, and develop dynamic and memorable content. Guidance will be given on the use of notes and visual aids. Every class will include voice, breath, and physical techniques to improve clarity in speaking. Additionally, we will cover the specific techniques for On-Camera Zoom presentations.

Each week you can expect to prepare and deliver a small presentation (5 min). The focus each week will change, so that you have the option to create a new presentation each week, or to develop and refine one presentation. The third class will be held on ZOOM in order to practice online delivery.

ZOOM access is required for ONE class this course:
Based on over a year of us working on creative projects on ZOOM (feature films, new plays, new media, and one-to-one coaching), we have found the MOST creative, interactive, engaging and inspiring way to work in SMALL groups.
There will be constant interaction and group engagement.
You must have a good steady connection to the internet, and a laptop or tablet device with a camera and microphone (smart phone alone will not suffice for this course) in order to participate in this class on ZOOM. It will also be important that you are in a quiet location where you can stand, move around and make noise!
