Menestystä Etsimässä Antti Pietilän kanssaMiten käytät ääntä oikein etätapaamisissa ja webinaareissa. Vieraana puheäänen valmentaja Mika TepsaEtätapaamisissa ja webinaareissa vaikutamme pitkälti puheäänellämme kun ulkoasu ja kehonkieli jäävät slaidien taakse piiloon tai webbikameran suttuisen lähikuvan takia välittymättä.
Äänen merkitys korostuu. Ja nauhalta kuunneltuna oma ääni tuntuu meistä kaikista kovin vieraalta.
Kun ääni ratkaisee, on tärkeää, että olet esiintyjänä ja vaikuttajana sinut äänesi kanssa. Äänesi pitää kuulua ja tuntua hyvältä.
Jos koet, että äänessäsi on jotain vikaa, se häiritsee esiintymistäsi, vaikkei muut virhettä huomaisikaan. Virheitä voi myös korjata. Kovasta ja kolkosta saa pehmeämmän. Kimittämisestä normaalin. Varsin pienillä mu...2020-05-261h 10
