One of the most powerful communication tools we possess is our voice. It not only conveys our ideas but also offers listeners insight into who we are. For better or worse, people judge our intelligence and trustworthiness by our voice and its usage. For professional academics as well as artists and designers, mastering their voice is crucial when presenting research, giving lectures, or showcasing their best selves in interviews and presentations.
This workshop is tailored to women and non-binary people, specifically artists and designers in their postgraduate phase.
