Voice Training

VOICE TRAINING FOR PUBLIC SPEAKING & PERFORMANCE offers a proven course of vocal training. It is eminently suitable for teachers, actors, politicians, pastors, managers, or anyone who is called upon to lead seminars, or to give an address at social occasions and anniversaries. Dr Benno Zuiddam explains the key concepts of voice production for public speaking, while taking you through a program of exercises. This combination of learning and practical training will help you to speak in the right way naturally. You will find out that this method works as you practice. Famous speakers from the Classical and Victorian age were clearly audible to large crowds of thousands of people in an age without microphones or hearing aids. Your voice is probably able of doing this as well. Your body so wonderfully designed that everything is in place for efficient public speaking. Most of us are just no longer trained to do it. This book will show you how wonderfully you are made and help you use and coordinate everything that you have got already. This book takes you on a journey of three months that will change the rest of your life. You will be inspired by the experiences of famous orators from history. The key concepts will become clear and correct speaking will become a second nature as you progress through this course. Your voice will become clearer and less vulnerable, even in seasons when you battle with flu or colds. Dr Benno Alexander Zuiddam has over thirty years of experience in public speaking.
