Course outline

Our voice is our instrument. It gives us power or takes it away from us. And: Our voice has an impact. What effect would you like to achieve in front of an audience or in conversations?

How can I use my voice in an impactful and powerful way? How can I train my voice? How should I take care of it? How do I keep it supple and flexible into old age? The use of the voice needs to be learned - as with any instrument. Through appropriate training of breath and voice, we speak sonorous and well articulated. With a long breath we save a lot of energy in everyday life. The aim is a relaxed, economical use of voice, clear and expressive speaking. In the truest sense of the word, it's about “hitting the right tone”.

In the course we deal with the voice itself in a very practical way. We look at its organic structure and function and train it in exercises that are sometimes unusual but always with a lot of fun. You will receive feedback and will train based on that feedback. The course is a great opportunity to prepare for the WIRM and eCM conferences in July 2023 in Davos.

As an encore, Michael will introduce you to the world of flipchart design. You will work creatively and try out how voice, body language and flipchart visualization work.

Objectives

You will expand your action options regarding the presentation of scientific content. You will reflect your way of public speaking in general and the use and impact of your voice and body-language in particular.

Outcomes

You will be able to…

… apply specific techniques to optimize the use of your voice while giving a speech or presenting.
… maintain good voice resonance in a challenging situation.
… have a better control over nervousness, breathing and carrying capacity of your voice.
