Communication Skills: Find Your Voice & Speak with Confidence

About this course

Participants explore vocal projection, tone and breathing through vocal exercises and warm-ups, alongside physical techniques for relaxation and managing speaking nerves. Drama-based activities, practical speaking games and paired practice provide opportunities to work on spontaneous speech, posture, eye contact and individual presence. Teaching is interactive and takes place through structured group exercises and in-class practice. The course focuses on applying vocal and physical techniques to everyday speaking situations rather than formal performance work.
