Engaging Speaking & Presenting (ESP) Fundamentals
What You’ll Get Out Of This Course
Ever been in a Zoom meeting & felt like no one is listening to you? Or presented in a boardroom & noticed that your audience has started to fiddle with their phones? It’s our belief at Jabba that anyone can be interesting & compelling – all it takes is the right voice & performance training. In this personal coaching session, we teach you how to combine dynamic vocals with a powerful physical performance so your audience will feel engaged with you & your message – whether online or face to face.
During the one-hour training session, we’ll assess your sound, your energy levels & how you come across when discussing a topic you’re passionate about. The idea is to learn to harness that same energy & vocal variety no matter what topic you’re presenting on. That’s how you capture your audience’s attention.
In short, you deliver your passion speech & we’ll work through it iteratively to polish your delivery & eliminate vocal fillers. Each session is recorded so you will be able to see & hear the improvement between your first delivery & your final performance!
We Teach The Engaging Communication Trifecta
- Body: When you combine powerful speaking with assertive facial expressions & dominant body language, you’ll be able to move & motivate your audience. In fact, 55% of meaning is conveyed through body language alone.
- Voice: Did you know that 38% of communication relies on vocal tone? So it’s not just what you say, but how you say it. With the rise of remote work & digital meeting platforms, nailing your vocal tone is more important than ever.
- Production: Whether you’re presenting in person or digitally, don’t allow your setup to let you down.
