New Voices 2024: Coaching Session 3

Launching yourself into the public speaking world is not easy. Where do you start? What do you speak about? Who will care? And where can get start getting experience? How can get start working with event promoters?

This October Business Month in Darwin, we'll be showcasing twelve new voices at a Gala Keynote Evening at Darwin Innovation Hub. It will be a night of inspiration, learning and discovery as the Territory hears from diverse voices that have never had the chance to step forward before.

This is the first of four monthly coaching sessions for those who are looking to take part in the gala event in October. This is an important part of the process, as only those who have participated in the free coaching sessions will be asked to participate in the gala event and be in the competition to win $2000 of paid speaker bookings in 2025.

This third coaching session will cover:

1. Taking your script and turning it into a presentation

2. Keeping slides and visual aids simple

3. How to use the microphone

4. Using your body to communicate

5. Speaking for an audience.

For more information about the event and competition, please visit newvoices.com.au.

As we are now in the practical part of the series, you must attend in-person to qualify for the gala night and competition. There will be no further online option available from this point forward.

New Voices is open to all ages over 18 years old, all backgrounds, genders, orientations and topics, however participation in the gala event is subject to attendance at training and practice sessions and the final call of the trainer and event organisers.
