About this event
Someone asks what you do. What comes out of your mouth? Build a short introduction that sounds like you and stays with people. Networking events, interviews, and chance encounters all open the same way, and most of us fumble it. This hands-on workshop helps you build a short, sturdy introduction you can deliver without a script, then teaches you to say it like you mean it. Drawing on professional voice training, we'll work on nerves, pacing, and presence so your pitch sounds like a person, not a pamphlet. You'll leave with: A 30-second introduction you've drafted, revised, and said out loud Breath and grounding techniques to steady your nerves on the spot Tools for adjusting your pitch to different rooms and listeners Speaker Wolfe Lanier is a voice and communication coach who helps people find vocal congruence, the alignment of who they are, how they feel, and how they sound, so they can present and connect with any audience. He holds an MFA in Voice Studies from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London and teaches with public speaking firms and drama schools in both London and New York.
