Just because it is fun doesn’t mean it cannot be serious. Sure, VoiceWorx 19 students had fun but they were also able to feel nervousness as they faced their final recording for their voice acting workshop, February 25.
Led by Mr. Brian Ligsay, they refreshed the things they learned first. More tips were also given to them so that they would be more prepared not just for the day’s challenges but also for the things they would try and pursue as they finish the training.
Afterwards, they began the final recording wherein they were asked to record the scripts they recorded during the very first meeting. Through this final recording, their improvements since the very first meeting were more obvious.
And to be more prepared, Mr. Ligsay also gave his comments and criticisms on their performances so they would know their strengths as well as the points that they still have to work on.

Just last February 9, successful students of SpeechWorx Batch had their grand finale and showcased their improvement in public speaking. Having seen how much they learned, enjoyed and improve, we are happy and much inspired to welcome another batch of students!
So here they are, SpeechWorx Batch 2. Coming from different fields, they now join each other for a journey to success. And last February 13, we finally welcomed them.
During their first day, they were asked to come in front to speak. Sure, they were nervous but that’s actually the point. Because for the next days, they will never be the same again.
Through the help of their well-experienced teachers, they will surely conquer their fears that are related to public speaking.
 
Having known their fears when it comes to public speaking and having known things about them, it is perfect to continue their new journey.
After the introduction, orientation and first speech on the first day, students learned about making stories and building connection when speaking. During this session, they had exercises that made them tell stories and learn about connecting to people which is not just important in public speaking but even in everyday life. Kyle Nofuente was the teacher of the day.
On the third day, on the other hand, they were taught about performance and presence in speech. This is more of how they would wow the audience and engage them through their presence whenever they speak. They learned from Mr. Al Ian Barcelona, a motivational speaker.
And after that, they were able to learn about organizing their speeches including speech writing. Cornelius Bascara was the instructor of the day.

 
Equipped with all the things they need so they could really speak their minds, successful SpeechWorx Batch 1 Students delivered their final speeches, February 6.
Apart from all the essential learning, they also had fun in the course of the training. SpeechWorx is not just an ordinary speech class, after all!
In fact, there have already been a lot of visible improvements not just in the way they speak but also how they carry themselves as individuals. All of the things they have learned here are not just applicable to public speaking but also to their daily professional lives.
