Objective
Integral to voice and body training is the central idea that physical and vocal dynamics are connected to the speaker’s motivation and to the importance of the information being communicated. The trainer, with professional theatre background, identifies the verbal challenges of each speaker, giving attention to breath, articulation, intonation, volume, modulation and tempo. Coaching is given to improve nonverbal aspects such as gesture, positioning, distance, eye contact and relationship with media. Participants monitor their improvement and implement feedback with active role-play exercises in which they present in various scenarios such as academic presentation to a large and small audience, informal meetings, interviews and teaching situations.
