Public Speaking

-          the narrative style
-          voice training (projecting with or without a mic)
-          techniques to make individuals feel you are talking to them
-          body language (facial expression, gestures, eye contact, where you stand with or without a podium)
-           readjusting content to make the audience feel something
-          extemporaneous speaking

Many beginners allow nervousness to hamper their performance.  They give presentations that are stilted, poorly structured and overladen with dry uninspiring facts.

Students will learn to think less of themselves and more about their audience. The program teaches them to leave a stronger impression by connecting with the audience through the use of more anecdotes and other elements that allow listeners to relate to the content and feel something.   

The program emphasizes role playing. Students prepare and deliver speeches and spend time in class and own their own practicing voice drills. They will prepare two short speeches and will deliver them before the class and invited guests. Performances are critiqued by the group.
