Learning Objectives
One Hour Session:
- Techniques for oral and physical delivery of pre-prepared text
- Engaging an audience by using your entire body, not just your voice
Full Day Session:
- Will do all the above and help students write and build toward their own short delivery piece.
- Once they have delivered their piece, they will learn how to give and receive feedback to improve the way we deliver oral information
Session Description
This session, run by a professional actor, aims to explore how students can boost their text via stagecraft. We explore pace, variation, movement, and verbal and non-verbal ways to engage an audience. We also look at voice, facial expressions, posture and gesture. And how to lift your words from the page - to engage an audience. The techniques are designed to be transferable to employer and university interviews, as well as boosting crucial 21st century soft skills in presentation giving and debate.
