Description of the Program:
As teachers do we ask ourselves why some students fall asleep in the middle of a lecture? As a student, do you feel awkward delivering a report in front of the class?

Or do you panic right before the start of your presentation at a business meeting. These and many of the “Stage frights” we come across in our daily life will be discussed. Some practical hints in Voice Projection, Body Control and Interpretation will be highlighted. I believe that teachers are also actors who must entertain their students through interesting lessons. If the students enjoy our class they will be willing to learn.
