Far from the usual theoretical courses that claim to teach you how to speak in public without you having to express yourself, this short program is organized in the form of a participative workshop. It will enable you to improve your physical and vocal ease through practical exercises and improvisation games based on techniques used in theater and the performing arts. As a result, you'll learn how to speak more confidently in everyday situations, becoming an actor rather than a spectator. This module is structured in three phases:

  • Improving verbal and non-verbal expression: voice, breathing, diction, movements, posture, support points, gestures, etc.
  • Become aware of your strengths: gaze, power of voice, flow, phrasing, etc.
  • Put your body on stage and integrate tools by confronting typical situations.

Learning objectives

  1. Work on postural integration, non-verbal language, body ease, attitude, presence and gestures to avoid.
  2. Improve breathing, stress management and voice control in all its forms (diction, projection, timbre and modulation).
  3. Gain confidence and enthusiasm by mastering the secrets of the public speaker.

Target audience

  1. Anyone who needs to speak in public on a regular or occasional basis (conferences, interviews, meetings, etc.).
  2. Anyone wishing to work on themselves, boost their confidence, manage stress and get out of their comfort zone.
  3. Anyone interested in taking part in an innovative program, halfway between the performing arts and the professional world.
