Why Body-Voice Training?
Your voice is a reflection of who you are. Your body supports your vocal energy and how you show up in the world. When we work with them together, you are fully supported in your quest to become an engaging, authentic, and influential speaker.
As we become more reliant on technology for communication, we have begun to lose our innate ability to communicate using our voice and body. That’s a shame, because our voice and body are capable of complex, meaningful layers of communication that we naturally understand on a deep level.
The tone of voice you use, the quality of your vocal resonance, the level of vocal confidence you present yourself with, the rhythms and cadence of your speech—these all have an impact on whether people will listen to you, take you seriously, believe the things you say, and even whether they will want to engage in conversation or do business with you. Your body language, your posture, how you breathe, and the energy in your body dramatically influence how you speak, so the voice and body can’t be separated - they work together. Your voice and body together are crucial in determining if people will trust you, like you, and believe in what you say.
Just like a musician works with an instrument in order to do their job - undergoing years of training, thoughtful practice, meticulous maintenance of their instrument - if you are a person who relies on speaking for work and life, you also have an instrument to take care of and to master. That instrument is you - your voice and body.
Whether you are a professional working in a corporate office, a CEO leading a company, or a Founder establishing credibility for yourself and your company, how you show up as a speaker has a major influence on your success.
My job is to help you discover your strengths and uncover how much more impact you can have in every aspect of your life when you know how to use your instrument effectively.
