Workshop Contents: Year after year, when audiences at workshops are polled about what would make or break a presentation - the most important factor they consider is voice. Subconsciously, your audience is always judging you on criteria like shrillness, charm, variety, volume and that ever mysterious criteria called charm.
And while most speakers spend days polishing up the content & words in their speech, and hours looking at themselves in the mirror, they neglect to look at that skill known in Toastmasters as vocal variety. This saturday, we’re going to stop leaving things to chance and bring out your most charming voice from deep within so you can entertain, humor and seduce your audience in your next presentation.
This will be a very hands-on workshop - you will get to hear and fix your most important vocal flaws. At the same time, you’ll get to learn:
- How to automatically speak at the right volume depending on your group
- When to use your rounded voice, and when to use an excited shrill voice
- Hypnotizing people with the tone of your voice so that persuasion becomes a snap
- How to vary your pace of speaking to seem more knowledgable
- The elements of a humorous vocal performance
- How to identify and instantly fix your most glaring vocal flaws
- … And many more techniques that will make your next presentation so much more powerful !
Speaker Profile: Your host for this wildly entertaining session will be a horizontally challenged gentleman going by the slightly unpronouncable name of Rachit Dayal. By day, Rachit is a consultant and trainer who is forced to charm business owners into giving him vast amounts of money. All that money of course, goes towards his after-dark profession of being a hypnotic superhero. Being a super hero AND a hypnotist while hiding his true identity is a tough job - and so Rachit is forced to practice the art of masking his voice to protect his loved ones. And as a superhero his volume needs to be loud enough to tell people to escape the city. (He is also an addicted Toastmaster who is currently the Division U Secretary, Asst Div U Gov of Education & Training and the Immediate Past President of Raintree Toastmasters).
