This 3 hour workshop is for anyone wanting to gain an understanding of using their voice more efficiently.

You will learn, in a safe and relaxed environment, how to feel more comfortable when presenting, and more relaxed when people’s focus is on you. You will be taught how to build rapport and engage your audience.
