TEACHING / Coaching – Training – Acting – SUSANNE SCHWAB

For all those who would like to work on their voice and way of speaking, for the curious and career changers – for all those who have an interesting voice – and want to make more of it, for all those who have already spoken in front of an audience and/or in the media and want to develop further. Do you have texts or contributions that you would like to voice yourself? In front of the camera or behind the microphone? Or an audio book that you would like to set to sound yourself? Are you active in the media or do you want to become active? We will train the speech patterns / approaches that are necessary for the genre in question. For example, for news, weather reports, traffic news, documentaries, commercials, reports, introductions and farewells, greetings, transitions, aeroplane announcements, answering machines, technical instructions, tongue twisters, difficult factual and technical texts, audio guides, podcasts, prose, poetry and and and………. feel free to bring along your ideas, texts and drafts!  We will acquire the necessary tools for optimal text presentation, i.e. for a healthy, expressive voice as well as clear, unstrained, precise pronunciation, speech breathing without breathing noises, your indifference position, pronun-ciation in High German, varied text treatment with various design elements such as tempo, rhythm, pauses, volume, pitch, accentuation; dealing with volume and voice strength, melody guidance, text structure according to sense units and much more. 

In order to increase your speaking effect and make it sustainable, we work with audio and camera recordings, which we evaluate and check together: Where is there still „room for improvement“, where are you already unique and unmistakable. If required, we can produce a meaningful audio or showreel as your audible or visible business card for your new field of activity, your new professional foothold or as a supplement to what you already have to show in terms of media language and technology. We provide customised and individual answers to the following questions:  What are your personal favourites for coming across as particularly likeable and convincing on radio or television? How can you train a better voice and thus persuasiveness? How do you secure your speaking in an individual medium speaking voice? How do you deal with stress, excitement, time pressure, slips of the tongue, black outs? Furthermore, there are recommendations for additional literature for self-study and tips for your individual development. A workshop with the certified actress, lecturer, coach, voice and speech trainer Susanne Schwab.
