If everything that you say is delivered in the same exact way, with little variation, then an audience who is listening to your speech may lose focus, phase out and miss your message entirely. Part of your job as a speaker is to help your audience separate the signal from the noise. In this workshop, you will learn how to verbally punctuate the spoken word with silence, emphasis, pacing, intonation, etc so that your audience can better parse, and consequently, better understand, what it is you are saying.
