Wake Up Call: Fail-safe presenting techniques for creative professionals who hate presenting
BCI Webinar
Having presence in the boardroom, making a sales pitch, or giving a presentation that captures and engages your audience isn’t an innate skillset.
For most, mastering these skills require hours of craft and regular practice. These moments are all about performance, but very few are fortunate enough to have been trained in traditional acting techniques that actually resonate and translate effectively at work.
In this informal webinar, voice actor and communication coach Melissa Thom will guide participants through exercises designed to boost confidence ahead of public speaking.
This webinar is for anyone who’d like to learn some practical tips to help unlock the power of their voice, successfully influence an audience and communicate with confidence.
Melissa Thom is the CEO and founder of BRAVA, which specialises in high performance communication coaching.
She’s had a prolific career as a voice actor and has coached hundreds of professionals across voiceover, podcasting, live radio and public speaking.
Melissa extends and improves professionals’ voice, speech and communication skillset in the workplace and beyond.

These sessions take place every other Friday morning from 8.30-9am, for the BCI community to share their pearls of wisdom with one another. The half hour webinars will involve a 15 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute facilitated Q&A, with introductions from the BCI team.
