For many, the use of digital platforms as a means to deliver presentations, pitches or pre-recorded video is a whole new world raising a range of new challenges and edging even the most confident presenter out of their comfort zone and yet it’s never been more important to be confident, clear and communicate effectively to connect with your intended audience to get your message across.

We will be helping you learn how to hold the space, develop your communication skills and boost your confidence to ensure clear communication during engagements, helping you get your message across, being heard and delivering a positive, impactful presentations. We will be sharing some communication theory, our experience, hints and tips from Mortal Fools drama practitioners.

We will not be exploring functionality of platforms or technical elements – this is a communication skills workshop run by an experienced theatre practitioner.

This workshop covers:

• Effective and impactful use of body language and voice

• Practical tips to manage fear and quieting the negative voice in your head

• Successfully owning and using the digital space

• How to manage what people see, hear, feel and think during your session.

Post workshop – all participants will receive workshop notes with resources highlighted and you will get access to a Mortal Fools Facebook group, so you can ask questions and of course, offer each other peer to peer support and advice.
