Connecting To Your Audience

Creative Careers

,Milton Court - Rehearsal Room 1
Creative Careers - Feb 2019

Whatever our career, at some point we will need to communicate ideas and connect with an audience. But how can we do this with confidence, charisma, compassion, dynamism? 

The most successful person in the room isn’t the one with the best idea, but the person who can communicate their vision the most effectively. Speaking as yourself can be extremely difficult – whether because of nerves, anxiety around how we come across, or lack of knowledge of the many simple ways in which anyone can learn to be a confident communicator and public speaker. 
 
In this Creative Careers session, leading actors Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Emily Berrington will guide you with clear and effective information and exercises, to transform your approach to reaching your audience. By the end of the session you will have the knowledge and confidence to improve how you communicate your ideas.

Creative Careers is presented jointly by the Barbican Centre and the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
