Different from a regular public speaking course, Heather Lyle‘s Vocal Yoga Method® dives into the physicality of speaking using Eastern and Western approaches to learn how to use your body to produce vocal power, speak on your optimal pitch and with a
resonant tone. Actors, motivational speakers and business professionals seek out voice coaches in order to breathe, speak without fatigue and command attention by becoming a vocal presence. In this short, experiential class you will learn tangible, bite size pieces
of voice technique that can be implemented into your life immediately to have the voice you desire. You'll see dramatic results in just one hour.
