Public speaking is a skill that can help you convey confidence and charisma. In the workplace, it can help you persuade others, get their attention and draw support for your ideas. We don’t all have this skill naturally, but it is one that can be learned. The objective of this workshop is to help you demonstrate the attitude and self-confidence of good public speakers, establish a rapport with your audience, use your voice and gestures to add impact to your presentation, and handle questions with self-assuredness and calm.

Marika Becz is a professional actor, voice-over artist, and free-lance voice/movement/acting and dialects coach. She teaches in the undergraduate theatre department at NYU at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School, and is also a public speaking coach for interview techniques, business plan presentations, and effective self-presentation and marketing. She works directly with the office of Career Development at Barnard to bring empowering Public Speaking workshops to campus.
