In this assessment David will:
- Record and play back your voice to give you an awareness of how you actually sound to others.
- Analyse and give feedback on all aspects of your voice including, projection, articulation, clarity and vocal impact.
- Identify your specific voice coaching needs, relevant to the demands of your job and advise you on areas that need improvement.

Projecting Gravitas
Learning how to speak with gravitas is an essential part of any leadership communication training.
But what is gravitas?
Gravitas is about communicating authentically and with authority, using both the power of your voice and physical presence. It’s the quality needed to communicate like a leader, project vision and inspire others.
Working with your own speech and presentation material, we record, play back and offer in-depth analysis of your unique communication style. Highly interactive and packed with practical exercises, you will learn the skills to project gravitas and speak like a leader.
You will learn how to:
- Develop a strong and powerful voice through
diaphragmatic breathing, using your chest voice, and
lowering your pitch. - Use vocal techniques to slow down your delivery for
impact, through pacing, pausing and chunking. - Explore techniques to find a good speaking posture that
supports a powerful voice. - Use your physical presence to underline your delivery and
engage your audience.
This is a 2-hour session conducted 1-1 at our studio, in your office or online.
