Spirited Speaking

“Speaking at a meeting or giving a presentation is free advertising for you or your product. Do you have the skills to use this opportunity for maximum effect? "

"I knew my content cold; I thought that’s all it took. After this program I got questions, orders and compliments."

Voice II is an extension of Voice I and stands on its own to refine business communications. We review the basics of Voice I: breathing, vocal control, voice quality, pitch, tempo, and volume. All vowel sounds and consonants are correctly pronounced. Commonly used business phrases are standardized and sometimes changed for a more professional image.

We work on the subtler aspects of speaking, the use of phrasing, selecting words that sound like what they mean applying alliteration and metaphor. These skills make one a concise and spirited speaker.
