Workshop "Mastering Lecture Skills: Voice and Intonation"

Voice is a unique instrument that we possess. It needs care and fine-tuning before the performance and sophisticated control during the performance to communicate ideas clearly and with impact. The workshop will first provide a set of relaxation and articulation warm-ups that will help enhance voice stamina, diction and help combat stage fright. Second, it will teach how to use volume, pitch, rate, pauses, and inflection meaningfully to orchestrate a presentation delivery to the presenter's best advantage.

Tutor: Tatiana Skopintseva is Chair of the Humanities and Languages Department at New Economic School in Moscow. Before joining NES, she worked at the Department of English Phonetics at MSLU where she earned her Kandidat Nauk and Associate Professor degrees. Tatiana is an IREX alumna (UPenn), a frequent IATEFL speaker and is currently an IATEFL PronSig general committee member.
