I have just completed the voice confidence course 4 x 3 hours which lasted throughout august. First time attending the course, I did not know what to expect, what the course content entails and what the teaching format is like. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how coherent the course structure feels, and find it very easy to keep pace week by week. Starting the first lesson is more about understanding what default style we tend to use when we verbally communicate with others. Without going into too much detail, there are different components that make up the delivery of the voice, which is summed up as 5-D voice. I learnt about how different scenarios call for different styles, and can see the practical usage of this in the workplace, or to our family and friends. The next few weeks is about developing new techniques to suit these styles. It is up to us to practise what is provided to develop unconcious competency in all the areas taught.
Overall, it has been an eye-opening experience, I like that the classes were small, 8 people, and there were very positive interactions with coursemates. I enjoyed my time with them. I also would like to thank coach Lydia for her enthusiasm throughout. She is dedicated to her craft, more than willing to answer any questions or doubts you might have, and occasionally did even share some of her experiences related to voice confidence.
I recommend every aspiring young students or adults to try out this course at least once in their lives, because it helps you obtain professional evaluation of your own voice, and how you can develop voice versatility. This can help you in many areas in life, such as projecting confidence and also helping you feel confident.
