Vocal Power and Physical Presence (1/2)

by Elena Kaufman

Monday 27 Nov 2023, 13:00 → 16:30 Europe/Berlin

Luruper Chaussee 149

Two-day workshop (27th and 28th of November, 1 pm to 4.30 pm) on self-presentation techniques. 

Where should I stand? How can I project my voice? How do I come across as a speaker? These are common concerns when giving presentations or talks in any field. 

This workshop will focus on strengthening vocal power through exercises on
projection, enunciation, variation, and breath control. Relaxation techniques,
physical grounding, posture awareness and gestures will hone in on your
physical presence. Students will leave with a toolbox of exercises and clear
goals for continued improvement.
