Introductory course in public speaking

How are your public speaking skills? Do you manage to transmit more than just information? Can you express yourself naturally and capture the audience’s attention? Do you make good use of your voice and body language? Do you feel stage fright and want to overcome it?

A good communicator moves the audience beyond just presenting data. Learning and adopting some of the techniques and resources of a theater actor will allow you to speak in front of an audience in a pleasant way. Vocal resources, gestures, discourse, and emotional management are part of the tools you will explore in this course.

This is an introductory course that covers the basic aspects to consider when preparing a public presentation:

  • Communicate with simplicity and naturalness: “Less is more.”
  • Structure your discourse: Introduction, body, and conclusion.
  • Project your voice and make use of body language.
  • Identify our blockages and learn how to dissolve them.
  • Discover your strengths and use them to your advantage.
  • Capture the audience’s attention and convey what you truly want to.
  • Relaxation techniques, mental control, and empowerment.
  • Manage emotions before and during your presentation.
  • Overcome stage fright.
  • Learn to enjoy your public speaking experiences.

The course is tailored to the participants, featuring highly interactive and participatory sessions.

We provide the educational material used throughout the course.
