To take the power and use your voice effectively, you have to practice. It is a craft we commit to and it can be repetitive but even with all the will in the world we cannot make a difference to ourselves without practice. The first thing we do is to return to the breath in it’s most basic and relaxed state.
A 6 days course on the beautiful island of Naxos. Having a clear and resonant voice can provide huge benefits both in your work place and socially. Our approach will help produce clear and articulate speech giving you the tools to help improve your power and confidence while communicating both in person and online. Included in the sessions will be:
Breathing and relaxation
Centering and focus
Articulation and diction
Pace, pause and projection
We aim to unlock the voice and to help you find your potential by finding your breath to help you speak clearly and with strength. Voice work can help, not only with clarity, but if you have a fear of public speaking, you get a sore throat, or out of breath when you speak in front of others or if you are not engaging with your audience. During this course we will explore all the tools needed to project and find your resonant, confident, voice.
On the final day you will have the opportunity to perform a short speech in our out door venue in front of your fellow students and teachers.
What’s included:
Each day may begin with a yoga session or an early morning beach walk.
You will take part in two sessions per day lead by skilled practitioners.
Lunch is provided every day and time to sit by the beach, have a swim or a siesta.
There will be plenty of time to write your progress diary or journal as the sun sets before or after dinner in one of our recommended tavernas or restaurants.
