Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC Middle East and North Africa
Authority, confidence, decisiveness, integrity and vision — these are attributes of that elusive but sought-after quality 'gravitas'. But what exactly is gravitas? And can we learn to project it in board meetings, client presentations and day-to-day staff interactions?
What You Will Learn
Gravitas: Voice and Presence is an interactive 90 minute workshop led by David Pope from All Voice Talent. It aims to raise awareness of how voice and physical presence can be used to project gravitas and covers:
- What constitutes "gravitas"
- What a voice with gravitas sounds like
- Using the science of the voice to speak with gravitas
- How speakers use vocal variety to project gravitas
- The crucial importance of non-verbals: posture, gesture and expression
Using audio and video samples, as well as interactive group exercises, this workshop will give participants a chance to explore ways of using their voice and physical presence to project gravitas.
Please note that this session will not be recorded and seats are limited so please register early to avoid disappointment.
