Master your voice and speaking challenges!

The human voice is the organ of the soul.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Even though the human voice is such an important part of how we communicate our thoughts, beliefs and feelings, only very few people ever bother to train and develop the power of this persuasive ‘transmitter’.  If you have never thought about your voice and the impact it makes, it may seem quite a big step to signing up for some voice work with a coach.

In an earlier newsletter, Training Box Associate, John Holloway, who is also a professional actor and voice coach, began a new short series of podcasts.  John introduces you to some simple techniques and encourages you to explore how you really can make your voice work more effectively to say just what YOU want it to say about you!

Additional information for podcast listeners: voice work is not just about the voice – it involves your whole body. In his podcasts, John will invite you to participate in exercises that involve some movement. Also, some breathing or posture exercises work best if carried out with your eyes closed. Before you begin, please make sure you are in a quiet place with some space around you. Your clothing should be loose (not restrictive) and your shoes should be low-heeled or flat. This is not a physical work-out and the exercises are gentle but do stop (or open your eyes) if at any time you feel uncomfortable.
