You have done the work. Now you must present it. Oftentimes what gets in the way of success of a project, no matter how well it is constructed, are “performance” traps that a presenter can fall into that lead to a lack of connection, communication, and enthusiasm among your targeted audience. This happens with public speaking as well as recorded footage from your own home. I, a professional actress and educator, share my knowledge and expertise in performance and communication to guide this one hour workshop, where we will cover some tools and tips to help you present yourself clearly, generating excitement and enthusiasm through your voice, speech, and body language (should it be a part of your presentation.) Select participants will get to practice some of their presentation, and take some adjustments to help highlight the fascinating discoveries and journeys in their projects, and transmit this message with confidence to their intended audience
