EXPLORE YOUR SPEECH

 

Target group: The professional speaker (actor, journalist, teacher, presenter, politician, interpreter, etc.)

 

The experienced professional speaker:

Speaking is your profession. You have a clear story to tell and enjoy connecting with others. You feel free to let your personality shine through in your story and are easy to follow.

But the circumstances of your work sometimes change .

  • You must speak in a language other than your mother tongue.

  • The spaces where you speak are very different.

  • The medium in which you tell your story varies.

  • You need to make adjustments to your voice usage or articulation.

 

We explore what changes the new circumstances cause in speaking. How do you regain your own authenticity as a speaker in the new situation?

We basically work 3 x 45 minutes.

Cost €200 excl. VAT for 3 sessions

Depending on the requirements and the difficulty of adapting to the circumstances, we create an additional personal training plan.

Some aspects of the subject can also be researched online.

 

The beginning professional speaker:

You want to get to know yourself as a professional speaker.

How do I connect with my story and the other?

How does my voice sound?

Am I clear?

And what makes me unique as a speaker?

 

Explore your qualities as a professional speaker and connect others with your story.

In 3 sessions of 45 minutes, we answer these questions. We work on speaking skills. After these 3 sessions, the foundation will be laid.

Cost €200 excl. VAT for 3 sessions

If there is a need for further in-depth study or training, we will create a personal work plan.

Some aspects of the subject can also be researched online.

 

Group training:

It won't work without the other person!

Would you like to explore the skill of speaking as a group? Share your specific wishes! We will alternate joint exercises with attention for each individual speaker. We alternate doing exercises with analyzing the different voices. I will create a plan in advance tailored to your specific professional group. We work in a group of a maximum of 12 people to guarantee individual attention.

Guideline costs: €500 excluding VAT for a half-day, including preparation. Venue and travel expenses are assessed separately.

Where?

Individual sessions take place in person at Picardenlaan 29 in Maastricht.

If you prefer working online, I can discuss the possibilities over the phone without obligation. Not every study is suitable for this, but a number of them are very well-suited.

For group training, we will discuss the desired location.
