This one-day workshop addresses a broad range of vocal needs for professionals who require immediate and lasting improvement in the area of speech communication. In this workshop, participants will cover a variety of different speech issues that crop up regularly in business and corporate environments. Some of these issues include:

  • speaking too softly or with a “thin” voice — lack of authority
  • mumbling — words get lost or cannot be understood
  • talking too fast — often never pausing between thoughts
  • speaking with a strong accent — speech is difficult to understand
  • speaking in monotone — lack of expressiveness
  • loss of speech confidence — sometimes due to nerves or “stage fright”
  • and others…
