| This highly-interactive, skill-building course is broken into 4 smaller workshops: Storytelling for Public Speaking, Improv for Public Speaking, Strengthening Presence, and Interview Techniques. The last evening of the 5-week course is reserved for final presentations and a full review of all skills. Students will receive in-class coaching each week to: build confidence, skills, and enjoyment in public speaking; to explore and apply vocal and physical techniques; to cultivate rehearsal and event preparation habits regarding scheduled and improvised/surprise public speaking situations; to cultivate and deepen the ability to work within an ensemble/team which includes the offering and receiving of effective feedback. |
