Event details: Captivate your audience confidently and energetically. This course encourages interaction with your audience via sight-reading in order to aid the process.
You will be taught how to move an audience by the words you want to stress and learn the benefits of the 'pregnant pause' and how to emphasise statements with small physical gestures. Relaxation techniques are given, and you are shown how to achieve an effective vocal warm-up.
Further details: You will explore feeling comfortable in the space you are speaking from and learn how to adapt your vocals to suit the acoustics of any space by becoming aware of yourself physically when speaking. You will use new and exciting techniques to make your speech interesting and move your audience by skilful delivery. You will practice and develop breathing and muscularity exercises to improve projection and enunciation.
Who should attend: Councillors. This course is also suitable as an induction module for new councillors.
