Be remembered! Everybody speaks
to others. We apply for jobs, give instructions to employees,
talk to customers or address a staff meeting.
Speaking in public situations is a kind of performance. You know
your message is important; your idea is exciting; you have
something of value to convey. It’s not enough just to say the
words. You want to stand out from the crowd. You want people to
remember you. You want to make a memorable impression.
People behave toward us according to their perception of us. You
can be sure that perception is a good one. Stage presence skills
are how it’s done.
In SPEAK UP! I draw on my lifetime of performing experience to
show you how polished self-presentation is a matter of simple
skills -- skillful management of your internal state and your
external actions.
You can conquer “stage fright”! How you feel inside affects your
outward expression. Fear of public speaking prevents most people
from speaking up, even when they have a great idea. Don’t try
NOT to be nervous. Discover how your brain makes you nervous,
and how you can calm it down. What’s more, there’s a simple
secret of using your eyes to lower your adrenaline level. Learn
to let your butterflies help you fly!
Your belief about your listeners determines your attitude toward
speaking to them. Your attitude can paralyze your mouth and your
mind. Learn how to change your belief to create a positive
attitude and have a positive experience. Practice an attitude
that gives you a broad, clear perspective when you’re in the
spotlight.
Studies show that 55% of your impact on an audience is visual.
Does your posture radiate confidence? Do you look like someone
with an important message? Develop the body carriage of a star
and make your audience sit up and take notice.
Can your listeners understand your words? Do you speak too
quickly? Do you blur consonants and slur syllables together?
These habits are impossible to correct without help because we
don’t hear ourselves as others do. As a professional singer and
voice coach, I can give you exercises to develop crystal-clear
articulation. Make yourself easy to understand.
Is your face expressive? Your voice vibrant? Learn how speaking
with conviction and passion breaks down the barriers between
speaker and listener.
How’s your tone of voice? Is it pleasing? Let me show you how to
enhance your voice quality using full-lung breathing. Good
breathing habits keep you healthy, too, and they even help you
think clearly under pressure.
SPEAK UP! brings you all of this, and more. Reveal the star in
you! Find out how to master the simple skills of managing your
internal state and your external actions.
