The effect of our voice is more important than we think. Even simple tips and exercises help to improve your own impact. Your voice has enormous potential and can be a powerful instrument. Used correctly, you can convince others and assert yourself. Intonation and breathing alone can get a listener on your side. We train this. Because we immediately like those whose voice calms and relaxes us. We can improve the sound and power of our voice if we speak LOUDLY. So let’s get our speaking tools going. Starting with the optimal phonation breathing for speaking, finding our natural speaking pitch, through to rapid speech sentences and tongue twisters, which – by the way – are also fun. Last but not least, the application of all this in everyday speaking situations, in telephone calls, conversations and meetings. Let’s package the content of a speech or presentation in a convincing way of speaking: Pleasant in pitch, varied through melodic voice leading, lively through variations in tempo and volume, understandable through clear pronunciation. What do we need to fascinate our counterpart / audience? The most important thing is AUTHENTICITY. Then the technical tools of the trade such as body language, voice and articulation. And good preparation, confidence in the content, a style that suits the content, a form of presentation that suits your personality. We discuss the structure of a presentation, gestures, facial expressions and posture. Your reaction to interjections and questions. Then we will draw up a CHECKLIST for you and practise FREE SPEECH: speaking on cue. After these two Saturdays you will know: 1. practice makes perfect! 2. speaking is silver and gold! The LEARNING OBJECTIVES are: To consciously use your knowledge of the power of the voice in presentations. E.g.: In speeches on cue | impromptu – speeches | presentations | meetings | everyday conversational situations. The application in a presentation that suits your own personality. Successful presentations with phonation breathing, precise articulation, multi-faceted use of voice and structure. In other words: a common thread + persuasiveness + authenticity – so everyone will shine like SILVER AND GOLD. A workshop with the qualified actress, voice and speech coach Susanne Schwab.
