5 Reasons Learning to Sing Can Help You Present Do you sing in the shower but are afraid to speak in front of groups? If so, you might just have the secret weapon you need to teach yourself to present to groups. Not only can learning to sing give you enjoyment and pride, it can also help you become a better public speaker and presenter. Here are five ways that learning how to sing can help you present: 1. Singing teaches you how to project your voice. Few things are as important when giving a public presentation as being heard. And the same is true when singing. Learning how to use your diaphragm to project your voice is an important component of becoming a good presenter and a huge part of learning how to sing. 2. Singing teaches you how to breathe. Being a good public speaker means knowing how to pace yourself — which means knowing how to control your breathing. Singers have to do the same thing when they are performing, which is why they learn when and how to breathe during songs. 3. Singing teaches you how to perform in front of strangers. For those of us who are afraid to speak in front of groups, singing lessons that require public performances can teach you how to perform in front of strangers. And, if you’re already a shower singer, it’s just a matter of making your private performances public! 4. Singing teaches you to control the volume of your voice. Knowing how to control the volume of your voice when giving a presentation is just as important as knowing how to project it. Luckily, learning how to sing can help you do both. 5. Singing teaches you to practice. If you want to give a good presentation, the best thing that you can do is practice. And that’s where learning to sing can help. To give good performances, singers (and presenters!) need learn their performances inside and out — which means lot’s of practice.     We offer a terrific 2 day workshop called Think On Your Feet® that will give you dynamic structures to strategically position your message giving you the spit and polish your delivery deserves. It really is the art of impromtu speaking. [traininglist slug=”think-on-your-feet-2-days”]]]>
