Workshops:
Talking: Optimation of the voice - training with the accent-method
The voice is one of the most important working appliances – e.g. at the phone, in arguing during a discussion, during presentations, speeches and conferences. An optimated voice opens a better access to the counterpart. Unexperimented persons tend to a fatigue of the voice, croakiness and they feel as they have to clear their throat. They talk too fast, too loud, too hart or too monotonous.
The training in this workshop helps to improve the attitude, the breathing, the vocalisation and the articulation in order to improve the audibility and the communicative effect of the voice. This seminar contains theoretical as well as practical exercises.
Our lecturer is Rainer Stückle, speech and language therapist and teacher of the accent method. In his workshop, he offers lectures and gives practical directions for exercises for breathing and talking, for the voice and much more.
ADVICE to all participants: Please bring a blanket or a sleeping mat with you!
Writing: Journalistic Workshop. "Die flotte Schreibe" - a training course for the writing practice
Next meeeting: Thursday 18.01.07 at 1.30 p.m.
You are afraid of a white piece of paper and a short text makes you nervous already? This workshop could help you. No matter what style - serious, scientific, journalistic or - writing is a pure journalistic method.
In this crash course you are trained how to write. We are doing a lot of exercise in a few days. You'll see journalistic examples and scientific slips: After that, you will certainly write more conscious and easier; your words will be more fluently, readable and more interesting.
Lecturer Dr. Rudi Holzberger is working as a journalist since more than 20 years. He was scientific editor of GEO, journalist at Sports, reader and himself author of a lot of books. He is visiting Lecturer of several universities. More than 300 persons participated successfully in his special training course since 1986.
ADVICE to all participants: please bring your laptop with you - if you have one!
Drawing: Communicative Drawing - Drawing as a technical annotation
If you don't know how to write it – just take a pencil! If you are able to sketch problems during a discussion, you will be better understood. Drawing opens your eyes to the essential and helps your counterpart to contemplate on the real detail. A sketch offers often more than words. Drawing is helpful for communication.
The workshop introduces into the basics of drawing and drafts, shows you different technics and helps you to choose the appropriate material.
Lecturer Dipl.-Ing. Fritz Hack works as an independent architect in Friedrichshafen since 20 years. He thinks the approach of a holistic architecture is very important – from the first draft to the detailed design.
