Voice Training

GraduateCenter^LMU Workshop for (Future) Doctoral Candidates

With our voice we can express our feelings and intentions. By using the voice, we can arouse attention and raise motivation. But what can we do, if our vocal expression is limited, e.g. because of vocal fry and hoarseness while speaking or because of a monotone speaking style?

The development of a resonant and strong voice helps the participants to speak without strain and hoarseness. Your presentation gets striking and the attention of your listeners is increased by using a lively speech melody and a pleasant vocal sound.

Together with the most important theoretical aspects of voice training and the anatomy and physiology of voice production, this workshop will focus on practical exercises in the fields of muscular tension, breathing, phonation and articulation.

Workshop topics:

• Exercises for an upright posture and a supportive breathing technique
• Exercises for phonation and articulation
• Exercises to develop an animating speaking style
• Individual feedback to strengthen the self perception and to choose individually suitable exercises
• Theoretical framework regarding anatomy and physiology of the speaking process

Language of workshop: English

Target group: (Future) doctoral candidates of LMU Munich (the number of participants is limited)

Certificate of attendance: Participants will receive a certificate of attendance from the GraduateCenter^LMU.
