How a Public Speaking and Voice Training Can Prepare You or Your Team for All Media Platforms – Including Social Media.

If you don’t like how your voice sounds on a recording or the thought of on-camera work makes you or your team panic, we can fix that! The use of podcasts, interviews, and videos is standard practice for promoting new books, results of studies, services, products, the demanding landscape of social media, and anytime you need to get the word out. This is not to mention the high demand to look smart, relatable, and relevant. To do media and social media well, it is important to eliminate interfering communication and voice habits to launch the best promotion. Poor voice and speech habits are:

A

Speaking in a melody style that sounds monotone and lacks energy

A

Using a voice that lacks projection, vocal variety, and confidence

A

Failing to connect with the interviewer and not appearing relatable to the team

A

Talking too fast and sending signals that you are too nervous

A

Giving rambling answers and not getting to the point concisely and quickly

Get media ready! Our online eLearning media training class will quickly prepare you or your team to:

Speak with sharp articulation and energizing melody patterns necessary for media work

Speak with a powerful voice when on camera and in interviews and podcasts

Eliminate ineffective speech and voice habits

Use body language strategically when standing, being interviewed, on a panel, or working on camera

Write copy that is concise and interesting

Understand how to use media elements skillfully to craft the best message and look smart on camera.

You and your team will sound clear, confident, and trustworthy while enjoying your media promotions by completing this eLearning media training class. Be sure to watch our (Why Take Our Online Public Speaking Course for Media and Social Media Training) to learn about the class topics and design.
