Our voices are an important indicator of who we are. Female-presenting speakers often learn self-undermining speaking habits from the people and society around them. How does the voice contribute to our sense of presence and how others perceive us? Tone, inflection, pace, and volume are some of the vocal elements that provide clues for the listener as to what we think and feel.

In this workshop, UI Theatre Arts professor Mary Mayo will invite you to develop a greater awareness of your voice and its strengths and weaknesses. Then she’ll teach you exercises to increase and enhance its effectiveness.

Applications are due Feb. 16, 2024, by 5 p.m. For more information, please visit https://obermann.uiowa.edu/what-she-said-workshop 

Hosted by the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies
