public speaking and podcasting
For adults, school students, communities and corporates
These classes will empower participants to feel confident, to articulate their ideas either in the workplace, at school or to friends and family. Training is equally focused on the art of speech delivery as well as speech writing. Together we will master both vocal modulation and non-verbal communication.
SCHOOL LEADERS
These sessions are the perfect opportunity for school leaders to enhance their leadership skills and to speak confidently at school events such as Governing Council, assemblies, and meeting and greeting vips.
Schools are welcome to book a session for their school leaders or for those students who are applying for school leadership roles.
Adults
Looking to fine tune your next work pitch or conference presentation? You have the content but your delivery needs work?
According to research, a great presentation is 7% content, 38% voice and 55% non-verbal communication.
I offer personal and group sessions to help with your vocal and non-verbal delivery, team building and personal development. These sessions are high energy and fun and will throw you out of your comfort zone – but in a good way!!
Tom attended speech lessons with Annabelle and Voice it to gain confidence when presenting to school classes, talking to adults, and to learn skills he can use later in life at job interviews.
When we were at school, we did not get the opportunities to gain these skills so we decided it would benefit Tom and signed him up but he was not so sure.
Annabelle was able to meet with Tom during school lunchtime, which made an already hectic after school routine easier.
Once Tom had written his “Year 9 Rite Journey presentation” Annabelle worked with him and he learned a variety of techniques including how to structure a speech, how to project his voice, and how to sound compelling. They worked together to articulate and improve his ability to deliver the speech.
When we attended Tom’s Rite Journey presentation the improvements in eye contact and confidence gained from the Voice it lessons were clearly evident.
On completing the lessons Tom then realised the benefits of attending the lessons and how they had assisted him in his preparation and delivery of his presentation.
We would recommend Voice it lessons for anyone who wants to develop their presentation skills and gain confidence in public speaking

podcasting
Due to social media, more content is being shared via audio and video platforms than ever before. In 2020, 68 million people listened to podcasts every week in America alone and there are no signs of it slowing down.
Podcasts are great outlets to entertain and engage listeners and they also build brand affinity. Would you like to start a podcast but you’re not sure how to go about it? There’s so much to consider from the equipment, to editing tech, to podcast platforms and distribution.
To ensure your podcast journey goes seamlessly, employ Voice it to help you. Annabelle can help with your delivery, your interview style and the equipment you need to record and edit.
She is also available to present and produce your podcasts for your business.
