Public Speaking
Ask most people what they fear most in life and 9 times out of 10 the answer is - 'Speaking in Public'. If you are not getting your message across whatever the situation, if you feel your voice is not strong enough or unclear then you need voice training. Confidence and strength are vital - if your vocal energy is weak you will come over as weak. Given that our voices express who we are it is perhaps surprising that our general education provides so little help with care and development. There are very few occupations that don't require us to use our voices and yet we somehow just expect them to work properley regardless of how much stress we put on them. Perhaps you might be worried or concerned by some of the points or questions below:-
Are you getting your message across with real power and authority?
Do you feel that you could improve your voice and gain more confidence both socially and in the work place?
Do you ever have to give presentations or get up on a platform and deliver a speech?
Is your voice strong enough and does it have range and tonal quality? Having a clear, strong voice in any life situation can only improve your performance.
If you are going for a new job, it is frightening to think that we have such a short time to make a good strong impression.
Do you work under stressful conditions and are you concerned about voice loss, or vocal fatigue?
Do you get nervous and anxious when you have to speak in public? Perhaps your voice is too high or too low? What is the sound quality like? Cold? No emotion? Harsh? Too nasal? Whining? Too slow, too fast? Do you mumble?
Do you have a heavy accent that makes it hard for people to understand you? Or maybe you speak English as a second language and would like to improve your fluency and conversational skills.
