What do you do to create a first impression? Absolutely nothing. You always create a first impression. But it may not be one that works to your advantage. In this first skills session you'll learn how to manage those vital first few moments.

2 - Visual Interaction

When people understand you, they say "I see" or "I get the picture." The mind works in pictures and communicating visually give you a language far more persuasive than words alone.

When people say "That sounds good to me" are they responding to the merits of an idea or the way it sounded? The answer is both. Here you will learn expert voice production techniques to develop a voice people want to listen to.
