We had a workshop about public speaking with a lady called Christine. She's a very lovely lady who came in the room with an enthusiastic yet elegant presence, which I really liked! (Mainly because I was skeptical about the workshop from the beginning..) It really kept me interested in the workshop.
Christine told us to sit in a circle and she explained to us about the key skills of positioning ourselves and using our voices properly when talking in front of a crowd. We also did activities such as making up little speeches on the spot from a question that she asked us randomly.
At first, the advice and tips meant nothing to me because I never really like saying speeches in front of people due to my social anxiety (also, I just don't like speaking so much.) but as we got to the end of the workshop I found it very helpful and fun!
I really think that this is helpful to the Events Academy Students because we will be doing speeches at our event and we will need to use our voices to make sure everyone hears us. This has made an impact on us and definitely will be worth it when it comes to the event!
