“Three minutes away from a good voice presentation can mean six hours of work”
This is how Ana Isabel Ferreira, an expert in voice and communication techniques, spoke about the importance of training in vocal techniques on 22 May 2015, in the CNAI auditorium, Lisbon. The training session had 14 participants from both new and old centers from RadioActive101. Ana Isabel Ferreira has extensive experience in media training and specialises in oral communications.
The training addressed technical aspects including: how to plan engaging communication, how to make more effective presentations, how to focus on body posture, as well as proposing exercises for relaxation and improving the quality of the voice, breathing, articulation and intonation.
There are plans to expand the training in both Lisbon and Porto and include sessions on radio and sound design.
