Our March event was held on Monday 9 at the Quarter Restaurant & Bar. Our speaker was Priscilla Morris, who is an excellent voice coach and Founder of Loud & Clear.
It was a very lively, informative and beautifully crafted evening. Priscilla is a very skilled facilitator and got us all actively involved in looking at how we present ourselves using our voices. Some delegates also had the opportunity to plan and present a short presentation, after gaining some insight from Priscilla.
It is a very interested fact that many of us take for granted this well used, but misunderstood talent we all have – our voice. Priscilla shared with us, some of the things we can best do, in terms of preparation, and how, with even a very slight change tone or intonation, we can completely and effectively make positive improvements to how we are perceived and our message received.
In previous years many more people used to retrain their voices in order to improve and increase their success in business and personal life. Many famous individuals such as Margaret Thatcher realised the importance and the power of the voice.
Whether we’ve taken the time to think about it or not, the quality of and how we use our voice can have a positive or negative impact on the people around us, particularly in relation to what people think and how they receive our message.
We can take steps to learn about this natural tool and to control how we use it. Through Priscilla’s generosity we were privileged to experience a first class taster session, with many of us wanting more.
Priscilla is a performer of class. She uses her experience and back ground in acting and drama to bring this topic alive.
Janice Gordan, owner of the Joint Owner and Director of the Quarter, welcomed delegates.
