Voice
Our voice is the way we connect to each other.
…these days more than ever. The further we get away from our colleagues, students, people, and with only a screen image between us, our voice defines us. And when the screen image disappears, and we’re on phone calls, podcasts, audio, it becomes the only way our audience connects with us. Our voice is utterly unique to us…. like a fingerprint.
We talk for our jobs – sometimes for hours on end. We warm up our bodies, before movement and endurance sports. Voice is a physical action and speaking is an endurance sport. Do you warm up your voice before a full athletic day of vocal demands? Do you end up with a sore throat or are you physically and mentally exhausted at the end of a full Zoom day? It’s easy to fix. And fun.
In this hands-on no-fluff skills-learning Voice Finding Freedomand Focus workshop we’ll:
- Learn breathing for speaking. It’s distinct from breathing for exercise or non-talking
- Releasing vocal strain by releasing specific muscles and connective tissue lines of pull
- Increase our speech choices by working on specific articulation muscles
- Lead our audience by using melody, pace, pitch, volume
- Increase voice production with efficient specific muscle efforts
- Reduce stress and/or presentation anxiety
- Take-away 8-minute daily warm up to use today and for life
You’ll get to know different parts of your physical voice and the muscles and soft tissues that need strengthening and those that crave release. You’ll learn specific techniques to gain freedom in your voice and speech and become more empowered in the process. These skills are a distillation of a multi-discipline approach, which includes respiration, voice & speech anatomy, release work from physical habits that can inhibit voice musculature & precise physical and muscular actions, which make up articulation and speech choices. By this multi-prong strategy, we’ll enhance vocal resonance and projection and reduce muscle fatigue.
The approach is goal oriented, but also playful and fun. Easy to put in to practice, you will be able to use these skills right away… and tap into them for life.
Who is this course for? Do you have a voice? This is for you.
What people are saying
“This was the best presentation on Presentation Skills I have seen. Fran truly made it her own with personal stories, fears and strengths. It was utterly fantastic. The huge group (250 people) at the USA Face-2-Face meeting was riveted to her as she spoke. Really, no exaggeration. The way she tied the material to her own stories and to the roles of the audience was brilliant! I have sat through several other presentations on public speaking, and presentation skills with external vendors and none of them even come close to the value and best use of someone’s time. Standing ovation for Fran – “Freakin’ Awesome Job!!!””
-Dawn Pharma company – Global Head of Training
Pilates Method Alliance PMA Conference 2017 (PMA Conference is the Pilates industry’s Annual Pilates Conference for ~3000 participants from over 150 countries)
“It is the first PMA workshop that truly inspired me.”
– anonymous feedback from Pilates Method Alliance PMA Conference 2017
“Fran, I’m waiting for your TedTalk. I was riveted to your every word. Thank you for this workshop – it is a game-changer for me.”
– Jaime
“I learned so many new public speaking skills that have helped me not only as a Pilates teacher, but also as business owner. My diction has improved and my confidence has heightened since completing Fran’s workshop and I would recommend this workshop to anyone looking to improve their verbal communication skills. I cannot recommend it enough! “

“I have experienced Fran’s presentations firsthand at the Pilates Method Alliance Conference. She is one of the best presenters I have experienced in my years of continuing education. Fran is extremely organized, engaging, knowledgeable, clear, concise. She commands the room, yet is friendly, personable and supportive. Her experience as a chemist and clinical research gives her a unique perspective when teaching Pilates.“

Power Plate
Power Plate Advanced Vibration Technology is one of the most efficient training devices in the world; Based on technology developed for the Russian space program and backed by 40 years of clinical research.
Power Plate machines use the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
Acceleration Training™ on Power Plate® equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery.
– “One of the hardest workouts I’ve ever done. But I feel like I’ve had a massage after every session!”
Acceleration Training with Power Plate machines creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, multiple times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.
Recent studies have shown that Acceleration Training offers a 57% improvement in weight loss when compared to conventional exercise and diet alone.
25 minutes. 3 times a week. Enjoy Power Plate’s profound benefits:
✓ Greater muscle tone and coordination
✓ Increased flexibility
✓ Accelerated fat loss
✓ Increased mental stimulation for better concentration
✓ Reduced stress, and improved hormonal profile
✓ Increased circulation and oxygenation
✓ Reversal of osteoporosis
✓ Improved nutrient absorption and enhanced immune functions
✓ Increased metabolism
✓ Enhanced collagen production and improved skin tone
✓ Improved joint function
✓ Decrease pain

Thank you for your post. I really enjoyed reading it, especially because it addressed my issue. It helped me a lot and I hope it will also help others.
Its like you learn my mind! You seem to understand a lot about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you simply can do with some p.c. to force the message house a bit, however other than that, that is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
