Voice and Presentation Skills
Listen as SFU instructors describe the ways in which voice training has helped them become more comfortable and more effective in the lecture hall. Upcoming voice and presentation skills workshops are listed below.
Body-Voice-Space Boot Camp
If you have ever felt shortness of breath, sweaty brows, or fidgety hands while presenting, lecturing, or leading a discussion, or if you simply desire a safe environment to deepen your personal practice, don’t miss this much-requested summer intensive. Body, Voice, Space is a thought-provoking and practical workshop that explores techniques and skills that will give you the critical awareness needed for optimal impact. This workshop opens up dynamic spaces of interplay where inhibitions make way for impulse and presence with ease and even delight!
During these invigorating two days, participants will:
- Explore breath, projection, gesture, and movement
- Plan, design, deliver, and analyze a presentation
- Investigate effective use of space, props, and furniture
Through both individual feedback and small and large group sessions, participants will be empowered with a range of tools, resources, and devices and a clear understanding of their application and efficacy. Join the bold facilitators as they synergize their performing arts background with their academic practice in a space designed to nurture, develop, and exercise your body and voice.
Enrollment is limited, so sign up now for what past participants have called:
- “Innovative, applicable, insightful”
- “Lots of exercise, feedback, and fun!”
- “A phenomenal two days!”
