Course Description: 

One of the most powerful tools of communication is our voice: not only does it help us convey our ideas it also provides another way for our listeners to understand who we are. For better or for worse, people judge our intelligence and our trustworthiness by our voice and the way we use it. For professional academics, this is key when it comes to presenting their research, giving a lecture, or putting their best selves forward in an interview.

This one-day workshop is designed to help develop a powerful voice through active practice, individual and group activities, as well as vocal exercises based on Linklater, Fitzmaurice, and Alexander techniques.
