In this session, we will explore tools from acting and public speaking to help practice engaging listeners. This includes practical techniques to train and strengthen your speaking voice, projection, warming-up, body language and using authenticity to tap into your inner charisma.
Charisma can be broken down into:
● Being present
● Being relaxed
● Being authentic
● Caring about what you are talking about
● Listening to the audience
All these skills can be taught and practiced. This is not a performance or performing workshop. Every activity will be an invitation and offered to do in pairs or small groups, including discussion and reflection. One part of the workshop will involve the group taking part in gentle movement and voice exercises to support grounding and voice training.
