Emma Songeur: Connecting to your Voice – A Pechakucha-style short talk

Our August 2020 event was quite special as we celebrated our 2 year anniversary with presentations powered by PechaKucha. Drawing its name from the Japanese word for chit-chat, PechaKucha is a presentation format with the aim to use 20 images each for 20 seconds. Through this powerful storytelling technique, we took a dive into different topics that presented by fellow language professionals.

The first presentation we’d like to share with you was by Emma Songeur.

In this talk entitled “Connecting to your Voice”, Emma guided us through a practical exercise to help us connect with our voice in order to improve the way we communicate.
