Ways of working

Depending on your specific needs and objectives, there are a number of ways you can work with Ingrid St Clare at Voice and Speech. You can be sure you'll learn the basic principles of the voice and speaking, highly effective communication skills and how to develop your own individual style, always in a supportive, confidential environment.

ON-LINE MEETINGS
You can get started right away with on-line meetings via Zoom and FaceTime. An Introductory Session gives an overview of your needs and how to progress as well as plenty to get you underway with a view to a personal meeting later. Or you can create your own short course with several on-line meetings to cover all aspects of your interest in voice, speech, confidence and presentations. This can be a great motivator for developing your personal communication skills. We’ll also include tips for effective Zoom meetings! 

Personal speech coaching

Provided one-to-one, typically with a series of 3-6 meetings spaced over a few weeks and generally taking place at Ingrid's studio. Sometimes a single session may solve a nagging problem. There may also be additional telephone support.

Seminars

For a small group. Where two to four people in an organisation have similar goals, it may be beneficial to run a series of half day or day seminars. This may be combined with some personal coaching.

Training

Commission your own full day training courses for larger groups that can take place in your work place or an outside venue.

Courses

Regular one day or afternoon courses on a variety of topics for members of the public, (maximum 4 delegates.) Please inquire for details, dates, weekdays or weekends.

Developing your Speaking Voice
This Sunday afternoon course is for anyone who would like to develop and improve their spoken communication. Whether you want to build your confidence for speaking one-to-one, participating in meetings, giving presentations or in social situations this course helps you express yourself at your best. Covering all the basic aspects of the voice, it includes breathing, tone and tonality, projecting and being heard, clarity of diction and care of your voice as well as how to get your message across naturally, confidently and effectively. To make the most of the sessions we'll identify for each delegate where your strengths lie and how to build on them. Simultaneously, we'll highlight issues that may be limiting where small changes could make a big difference once you know how. The afternoon benefits beginners as well as those who want to refresh and advance their skills.
Maximum 4 places.

New dates available for the Autumn.
