Voice and group work

If you work with groups - as teachers, trainers, therapists. If they want you to rely on a strong, clear and pleasant to listen voice. If you have difficulty - fatigue from a lot of talking, tension, shortness of breath, hoarse or at times squeaky voice. If you are often told to speak louder or they do not understand you. If you feel you need to shout to bring order, or to be heard at all. If you often work in a foreign language and this creates additional stress for you. If you have just never thought about how our [...]
