A practical course for staff, managers, trainers and anyone who spends a lot of time speaking, presenting, advising or talking on the phone as part of their daily work. The focus is on healthy voice use, clear articulation, an effective presence and confident communication in both face-to-face and digital conversations. The course is designed to be preventative and development-oriented and is not a substitute for medical or speech and language therapy.
You will learn to use your voice more consciously, reduce strain on your voice, and speak more clearly and convincingly. You will reflect on typical speaking habits, practise breathing, articulation, pace and pauses, and develop strategies for longer conversations, presentations or telephone calls. By the end of the course, you will be able to use your voice in a way that is gentler on your voice, clearer and more effective.
