Personal Vocal Development

Background
This programme was originally designed for a client who had a senior sales person in need of developing her voice, particularly for sales meetings and presentations. The one day, one to one coaching session proved highly successful. Since then we have run variations of the following programme with many individuals.

Many people have ways of warming themselves up, or getting themselves in to gear for various activities at work. Very few of these will include the voice, and yet most people spend a large part of their day communicating verbally - so why not warm up the voice! We recommend this course for all those for whome the use and sound of their voice needs to have a positive impact on others. The programme is normally a day in length.
