You know that part of any successful career is the
ability to present yourself confidently to others.
You also know that doing so is one of many people's
biggest fears. Would you rather have dental surgery
than speak publicly? Do you cringe when you have to
deliver a presentation because you feel you voice is
too shrill, powerless, nasal, soft...? Or maybe
your voice is just fine but you wish you could bring
you words more to life when you speak. We'll explore
how to release those demons and find your
'signature' voice. Just as you have your written
signature, you can have a vocal signature: the
placing, pacing and tone that states who you are and
what you have to say in a way that will make others
want to listen. Through fun exercises, a bit of
Improv and lots of practical humor, you'll learn
useful skills and techniques to work toward finding
your Signature Voice.
