In this previously live solo episode of Speaking About Speaking, I talk about my acting training and experience of being an actor. I explain how I use them to get clients comfortable with their content, confident in themselves and excited to be in front of their audience. I discuss the importance of a physical warm-up for your body and face, and how to breathe for performance. Why playing games builds trust and positivity and why fully owning your ‘back story’ helps you to speak confidently. I’ll also touch on Master Voice Teacher and author, Patsy Rodenberg’s concept of 2nd Circle energy and how you can use it to ‘reclaim your presence’. Fascinating stuff!
