Breathing affects both our sense of relaxation as well as our speaking voice itself. Learn how to work with your breath for optimal speech.
About this Event

You know how to breathe. But are you breathing in a way that sets your body and mind up for success while under pressure?


No matter how nervous you feel, it is possible to maintain a sense of groundedness, think quickly on the spot, and deliver a message with a strong sound of voice.


In this workshop, we'll cover breathwork from two angles:


1. It's effect on our nervous system

2. It's effect on our speaking voice


Students will learn techniques to breathe in a way that:

- fosters comfort inspite of nerves

- produces a stronger speaking voice

-relaxes the mind while under pressure

- creates a sense of ease for both speaker and listener


By the way - we should never lose our voice or go hoarse from speaking alone. That really should only happen when we have true laryngitis. So if you lose your voice after a long day of speaking, this workshop could change everything for you!


Doors open at 6:00pm

The class will begin at 6:30pm
