During individual voice and speech coaching, students can work on their own topics and questions:
- Personal, effective and expressive vocal performance
- Dealing with vocally stressful situations
- Pronunciation, clarity and phonetics
- Lively text composition, narration and reading out loud
- Body language, room use and presence
- Transfer to professional language situations: Performance, presentation, negotiation, etc.
During the coaching, students learn about and analyse the connections between breath, voice and movement and their own communication and expressive qualities.
Students devise ways to care for and train their voice and build confidence through exercises aimed at promoting their ability to speak expressively. By being able to prepare independently for challenging situations in their professional life where good communication is required, they improve their ability to connect with their target audience both directly and personally.
