If you really want to sound
great and make an impact with your words, voice training and voice
work are vital.
Your voice is a rather
delicate piece of kit which can let you down if you don't treat it properly, so
it is essential to know how to use it well. Unfortunately they don't teach this
at school, but if you want to get ahead in business, it is extremely important.
Just as you wouldn't run a
race without realising that it is more appropriate to wear trainers than high
heels, you should never go into a presentation without being aware of the vocal
do's and don'ts.
Your voice, your
body language and
your words play equally important
roles in helping you to speak with impact, so we provide voice training and
voice work as an integral part of every public speaking course.
Voice training teaches you
certain vocal techniques to ensure you make the most of your voice. Voice work
involves practising those techniques. If you don't use them, you can lose them,
but when you practise they become natural.
Our voice training focuses on
how to use appropriate speech volume, how to speak clearly, and how to enhance
the inherent music in your voice. We will work on your pitch range and
intonation (musical ups and downs), your rich resonant tones and the variety of
rhythms in your speech. All this will make your voice more attractive and
appealing.
We will also give you tips
and techniques on voice health. Maintaining a healthy voice is vital for
successful speaking. Yet daily voice problems affect more than six million
people in the UK. Let's make sure you are not one of them.
There are loads of techniques
to learn, and while we teach as much as we can during a public speaking course,
we recommend one of our specific voice
training courses or one-to-one sessions if you really want to make a
difference to the way you sound.
