About this Event

In this 4.5 hour Masterclass delivered by Debate London Founder Michael Pautsch, we will be exploring: The aspects of debate that is most personal to each speaker. Delivery. The skills that speakers use to overcome the nerves involved with public speaking and even how to channel them to work for you!

We will introduce you to the 3 core skills in delivering great speeches - Vocal Image, Visual Image, Verbal Image - And how we can apply simple tools to take ownership of each of these areas so we can be confident our audience sees the image we are choosing to present.
