Public Speaking For Confidence

Allow your child to experience speaking into a microphone and then listening to her or his voice come out of a speaker. At first, they'll not like what they hear. But as they repeatedly do this, they get accustomed to their voice. In this course, we'll study microphone techniques, how to speak into (and love!) a microphone and love their voice coming out of that speaker. Of course we cover everything covered in General Voice Coaching but probably in lesser degrees because this course is focused on getting your child ready to get on stage and speak like a pro!
​​
In this course, your child will also be exposed to a series of techniques and exercises designed by Public Speaking experts Richard Greene, Professor John Hale, Professor Melanie Long, and expert voice coaches such as Kristin Linklater and Patsy Rodenburg, all designed to enhance and optimise the use of their voice for public speaking. And yes, all these skills can be used for singing if your child decides to join a choir or become the next Australian Idol. No technique is goes to waste! 
​
We will methodically go through our 4 step approach covering stretches, posture & alignment, breath work using my specially designed VoIXStraw™. Remember, a good public speaker is only as good as her or his breath control and vocal projection! We will also dive into articulation, enunciation, inflection and all the aspects of clear and persuasive speech.

Overall, this course aims to prepare your child to speak up in public, on stage at school, a carnival, or even in theatre performing a play.
