As professional communicators it is important that your vocal instrument is healthy and strong, and able to positively convey you, your messages and your professionalism.  Although there is an evident need for interpreters to ensure vocal skills and stamina, translators also hugely benefit from this focus too.

There are effective, simple ways of developing one’s voice that have significant benefits for health and wellbeing, including improved calmness, posture and deeper breathing. These features are also the key to communicating well, with confidence, audience engagement and presence of mind. 

This 35 minute presentation will give you insight into the core areas of voice coaching and provide some useful tips and exercises that you can put into practice straight away.  There will be an opportunity for questions following the talk.
