Public speaking is one of the scariest things for human beings. For some, it can be extremely debilitating and hinder their careers.
But this apprehension concerns a very large percentage of the population and crosses all categories of age, gender or socio-professional background. If you are in this case, you can therefore start by reassuring yourself: you are not alone!
The second good news is that it can be worked on! It is by practicing that you will learn to lower your stress level, to be more aware of what you have to do and to prepare yourself well.
To practice, I offer private lessons: a caring and demanding framework that will allow me to adapt to your specific needs. Once you have understood your fears and learned to overcome them, speaking (in public, in meetings) may become a great source of pleasure!

Managing stress, controlling your voice when you have to speak in public (in a conference, webcast or webinar), offering clear and well-structured information, these can represent famous challenges, especially today when it is necessary do this online.

To achieve your goals, I offer you a holistic approach to public speaking because, to convey a message, form and content are intimately linked.

After a few sessions, you will feel more confident, more convincing. Your interlocutors will be more attentive to the information you want to transmit. Your voice will stay clear longer. Through stress management, you will feel a great boost of energy and concentration.

Regarding the form, we will work in particular, the posture, the breathing, the modulation of the voice, the volume, the height, the intonation, and also the eye contact, the gestures, the pauses, in short, what one calls the "non-verbal". We will also see the elements that take precedence during a presentation or an exchange on the Internet.

And, if it helps, we'll see the different ways to handle your stress. We will establish your profile to choose the tools that suit you best.

Finally, if you have short deadlines (or not), you can put yourself in situation and, for example, prepare an interview, a presentation, a conference or a meeting. We will make simulations that will allow you to be in full possession of your means and the content of your intervention.

Testimonials
How did this work help you in your realms of work/life?

„Being a coach, facilitator and trainer I wanted to give my voice more power and control. My lessons with Laura really helped me with that. The combination of her expertise in voice control and yoga breathing made wonder for my voice. I can control the tone the depth and the sound my voice has in all moments.“
Roberta Manoni, Coach, Facilitator and Trainer (Brussels, Belgium)

„I took voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura in early 2019, to prepare my candidature for the German Liberal party's election list for the European Parliament elections 2019, as I was the lead candidate of the liberal party in my home region Rhineland-Palatinate. The voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura very much helped me to improve my speaking technique, to take better care of and to develop my voice, and to better understand the functioning of my voice – and my body in a broader sense.
Laura also taught me useful breathing/ respiration and relaxation techniques, which contributed to making me feel more at ease and comfortable when speaking in public, and also to manage the related stress in such situations. Laura's rich experience both as a singer and musician, vocal coach and yoga teacher, her very empathetic and sensitive nature, and her strong understanding of my specific needs in this situation, have been crucial to making these coaching classes extremely beneficial, insightful and useful for me. I can highly recommend Laura as a vocal coach to anyone interested in improving his/ her vocal and speaking techniques.“

The course module is tailored to the student's needs.

A program overview will be presented during the first class.

I will guide you in developing your written and/or oral communication skills, adopting an approach grounded in the science of political communication, international relations, and the social sciences and humanities.

The goal is to teach you how to structure a clear, impactful, and persuasive message, while mastering various persuasion and negotiation techniques.

▪️ Political communication involves the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions among citizens, political leaders, public institutions, and related stakeholders, such as the media. It encompasses all discourse throughout the political process at the local, regional, national, and international levels, as well as how political information can be used for strategic purposes or to achieve political objectives. Those trained in political communication can work in fields such as diplomacy, public and private policy consulting, public relations, journalism, media and digital campaigns, market research, community organizing, lobbying, and other related sectors.

▪️ The techniques taught will allow you to gain confidence in both public speaking and the development of your strategic speeches and narratives.

▪️ But above all, to achieve your goals, it is essential to master the art of public speaking, that is, the ability to express yourself clearly and effectively before an audience. This generally refers to a formal, face-to-face speech in which a speaker addresses a group of people.

▪️ At the student's request, the course can also incorporate skills in marketing, promotion, digital optimization, and SEO, allowing you to acquire:
- An integrated digital marketing strategy, adapted to the context and objectives of your organization;
- The skills necessary to analyze and leverage data in order to make informed, strategic, and innovative decisions;
- A forward-looking vision of marketing, including the use of new digital channels and technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots; and
- The ability to anticipate challenges and seize opportunities offered by disruptive technologies in your digital marketing strategy.

➤ On the telephone, in a meeting, in front of a client, his family (...), relevant and successful speaking must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a balance between the message received and message sent. Coherence between form and content. The important thing in communication is not the confidence we have in ourselves, but the appearance of confidence we exude.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality.

(...)

➤ In addition, you will leave with concrete and immediately useful tools, developed in the form of practical lightning modules: learning to say no, getting a delicate message across, selling an idea, expressing disagreement with an authority, getting a "yes" without upsetting someone, resisting the pressure of a too-quick "yes", calming someone who has taken your words badly (...).

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live, to have an external perspective and areas for improvement) , so that you will be able to apply them immediately, and from the first session.

➤Progress following these sessions is noticeable from 2 to 3 sessions (*study 2026).

➤ Make your words a formidable asset. Ready to take things to the next level?

Our body is our voice - The benefits of Voice Coaching

Why is voice coaching important?
To facilitate better communication and create better working outcomes we need to use the voice appropriately to engage, unite and lead. The human voice reflects the entire well-being and has a direct impact on your audience, employees and clients. Understanding how the voice is used can be useful to Human Resources for training and recruitment. How to make the most of your voice and the influence it can expedite?
Learn different vocal techniques and engage a full-body voice support to find an authentic voice. Speaking in a tone or manner that is situation-appropriate is important to get the best from your staff, colleagues, stakeholders and suppliers.

What is the approach of a holistic voice work?
Holistic voice coaching uses the entire body to support a confident and strong voice. Breathing techniques improve concentration and focus and help to control emotions that can harm our presentation. Strengthening physical exercises and soothing vocalizations help to deepen body awareness and relaxation. SoundBody offers a complete method to strengthen and connect the entire instrument body to find an effortless voice production for a meaningful performance.

Testimonials
How did this work help you in your realms of work/life?

„Being a coach, facilitator and trainer I wanted to give my voice more power and control. My lessons with Laura really helped me with that. The combination of her expertise in voice control and yoga breathing made wonder for my voice. I can control the tone the depth and the sound my voice has in all moments.“
Roberta Manoni, Coach, Facilitator and Trainer (Brussels, Belgium)

„I took voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura in early 2019, to prepare my candidature for the German Liberal party's election list for the European Parliament elections 2019, as I was the lead candidate of the liberal party in my home region Rhineland-Palatinate. The voice/ vocal coaching classes with Laura very much helped me to improve my speaking technique, to take better care of and to develop my voice, and to better understand the functioning of my voice – and my body in a broader sense.
Laura also taught me useful breathing/ respiration and relaxation techniques, which contributed to making me feel more at ease and comfortable when speaking in public, and also to manage the related stress in such situations. Laura's rich experience both as a singer and musician, vocal coach and yoga teacher, her very empathetic and sensitive nature, and her strong understanding of my specific needs in this situation, have been crucial to making these coaching classes extremely beneficial, insightful and useful for me. I can highly recommend Laura as a vocal coach to anyone interested in improving his/ her vocal and speaking techniques.“

The course module is tailored to the student's needs.

A program overview will be presented during the first class.

I will guide you in developing your written and/or oral communication skills, adopting an approach grounded in the science of political communication, international relations, and the social sciences and humanities.

The goal is to teach you how to structure a clear, impactful, and persuasive message, while mastering various persuasion and negotiation techniques.

▪️ Political communication involves the creation and exchange of ideas and opinions among citizens, political leaders, public institutions, and related stakeholders, such as the media. It encompasses all discourse throughout the political process at the local, regional, national, and international levels, as well as how political information can be used for strategic purposes or to achieve political objectives. Those trained in political communication can work in fields such as diplomacy, public and private policy consulting, public relations, journalism, media and digital campaigns, market research, community organizing, lobbying, and other related sectors.

▪️ The techniques taught will allow you to gain confidence in both public speaking and the development of your strategic speeches and narratives.

▪️ But above all, to achieve your goals, it is essential to master the art of public speaking, that is, the ability to express yourself clearly and effectively before an audience. This generally refers to a formal, face-to-face speech in which a speaker addresses a group of people.

▪️ At the student's request, the course can also incorporate skills in marketing, promotion, digital optimization, and SEO, allowing you to acquire:
- An integrated digital marketing strategy, adapted to the context and objectives of your organization;
- The skills necessary to analyze and leverage data in order to make informed, strategic, and innovative decisions;
- A forward-looking vision of marketing, including the use of new digital channels and technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots; and
- The ability to anticipate challenges and seize opportunities offered by disruptive technologies in your digital marketing strategy.
