Voice and Presence
Having stage presence, a strong and expressive speaking voice, and commanding a room are skills that can be developed. The first step in effective communication is becoming aware of and releasing habitual tensions in the voice and body. Through breath, alignment and vocal exercises this class will give you the tools to feel more confident and at ease in front of an audience, giving presentations at business meetings or public speaking engagements.
