Speech and Presentation Skills

Our background in professional theatre, voice training and business enables us to run courses that combine the very best elements of performance training with the needs of the corporate world.

Knowing how to give an interview on television, address a room full of people with confidence or sell a product effectively are all skills that
can be taught using our techniques.

We believe in steering clear of jargon and making our courses accessible to everyone. All our material can be tailored to suit individual needs and expectations. We use our voice all the time and the importance of doing so effectively cannot be underestimated. When we listen to someone, less than 10% of our understanding is the words they speak, the rest comes from their body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. There is no mystique involved in being able to make clear and authoritative speeches or compelling presentations. All the skills necessary can be learnt and can be improved with practice. Among the topics we cover are:

·         Practice presentation
·         Dealing with nerves
·         Breathing
·         Voice Production
·         Body Language including eye contact and gestures
·         How to structure a presentation
·         Advanced vocal technique
·         In depth analysis of style and delivery, using video
·         Making ‘off-the-cuff’ speeches
·         Understanding different communication styles
·         How to work an audience
·         Using Powerpoint successfully
