Description

Voice Mastery: Breath Support, Articulation and Persuasive Delivery

Two days of vocal work to gain projection, clarity and stamina when speaking in public

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Foundation
  • Up to 6 participants

A voice that rises in pitch under stress, a rushed pace, a sentence ending that fades away: the audience disengages even though the content was solid. After a full day of meetings, the voice tires and turns hoarse.

This 14-hour programme focuses on the voice as an instrument. Participants work on breathing, voice placement, articulation, pace and the use of silence. Progressive exercises alternate with readings and recorded speaking practice. Each participant leaves with a warm-up routine and practical reference points for protecting the voice day to day.

Learning objectives

  • Use abdominal breathing to support the voice in speaking situations
  • Place the voice at a comfortable and sustainable pitch
  • Articulate audibly without forcing volume
  • Vary pace and use silence to emphasise an idea
  • Apply a vocal warm-up routine and voice-protection habits

What makes this programme different

A voice recording made at the start and again at the end of the two days allows direct comparison
Exercises adapted to voices tired by intensive use
A five-minute warm-up routine built for each participant
