From pitching to an editor or presenting to an audience, to interviewing key witnesses and getting in front of the camera, speaking well in public is a necessary skill to help you tell your stories.

This one-day workshop will cover some of the main stumbling blocks associated with speaking effectively in public. These include relaxation, voice projection, effective use of pauses, owning the text and good and open body language.

The course will include plenty of practical exercises and opportunities to develop better public speaking technique, through utilising the subjects covered throughout the day. We will also watch some examples of great public speaking and have an opportunity to discuss what makes them so great.

The workshop is suitable for anyone who finds it difficult to speak in front of an audience, whether their reasons be professional or personal and is run in a friendly, fun and supportive way.
