Voice Coaching for academics has never been more popular and, with the increase in importance of student satisfaction feedback and the need for universities to build their reputation as leading institutions in teaching as well as in research, the demand continues to grow. This year, the LSE Teaching and Learning Centre is delighted to offer an expanded range of opportunities for academic colleagues to develop their presentation and communication skills. In addition to our existing One-to-One Voice Coaching slots we will also be offering a series of Public Speaking Masterclasses.
One-on-one sessions
We currently work with two experienced voice coaches: Susan Henry and Stewart Theobald. These sessions are 50-55 minutes in duration.
In advance of the session, the voice coach will contact you to identify which particular areas you wish to work on so that they can tailor the session to your needs.
To book a one-to-one Voice Coaching slot, please email tlc.academicdevelopment@lse.ac.uk , and we will liaise with you to arrange a convenient slot.
All communication is held strictly confidentially.
