One’s own voice is the most personal and subtle way of expressing oneself – and much more than just a “carrier of information” while lecturing, delivering a speech or in discussions. The human voice is in fact “the social medium no. 1”. To “bring the message across” should therefore also take the voice qualities and one’s relation to the audience into account. If one’s voice is too low, raspy or breathy or if one talks too fast, people will not listen – even though the contents may be meaningful and important. Studies show that the success of a speech presentation is made up only by 20 % of its content and 80 % by the way it is presented.
 
In this workshop, participants will explore skills and techniques to bring their messages across in a more convincing way. The training focuses on exercise and individual feedback.
