The public speaking training teaches you to use your voice as a true conviction tool. Over a full day, you discover breathing techniques, vocal projection, articulation, rhythm and modulations that make the difference between a voice you endure and a voice you listen to. A pivotal skill for managers, trainers, sales staff and executives in French speaking Switzerland.

A poorly placed voice tires, bores, is not followed. A mastered voice captures, convinces and stays in memory. Yet few profiles are trained to use their voice consciously. This public speaking course gives you the techniques in one intensive day.
Everything starts with breathing. A voice supported by good breathing does not tire, carries far without shouting, and supports long interventions. The course details diaphragmatic breathing with practical exercises.
Project your voice without shouting, articulate clearly without exhausting yourself, these techniques relate to vocal work. The training reviews the fundamental exercises.
A monotonous voice loses the audience by the second minute. Rhythm, well-placed pauses and modulations (volume, pitch, speed) make an intervention come alive.
You don’t speak the same way in a managerial closed door, in front of 100 people or facing a microphone. The training details necessary adjustments by intervention context.
Designed for managers, trainers, executives, sales staff, speakers and all profiles who regularly take the floor.
At ITTA centers in Carouge and Le Flon, this course runs over one day with an expert instructor.

How to go further after this training?
The Storytelling course for speech structure, or the Non-verbal Communication course for the body dimension.
Managers, trainers, salespeople, healthcare professionals, representation profiles and any collaborator whose voice is a regular work tool. In Geneva and Lausanne, the course welcomes participants from international organizations, banking, consulting and growing SMEs. No specific prerequisite is required other than a concrete willingness to progress on the subject.
You leave with an operational mastery of the fundamentals, reusable canvases on your concrete cases, a structured action plan for the weeks that follow. Many participants report a visible effect from the first week back, with sustainable anchoring over four to six weeks of regular practice. The course combines short theory inputs, practical exercises on your real situations and personalized trainer debrief.
A trainer moving from a tired voice at end of day to a sustainable voice over six teaching hours. A manager grounding her voice in tense meetings instead of going up in pitch. A salesperson adjusting her cadence to deliver key arguments at the right moment. The course adapts exercises to your context with personalized trainer feedback, and each participant leaves with an action plan calibrated to their own situation.
This training combines well with public speaking for the structured oral dimension, non-verbal communication for body posture, and active listening for attention quality in conversation. Many participants enroll in one of these courses in the following trimester, according to their current priority and professional context.
The voice is an often neglected professional tool, while it directly conditions the perception of credibility, authority, warmth. Research in phoniatrics and communication confirms the massive impact of vocal placement, pace and timbre on message effectiveness. This training proposes an outfitted approach, accessible without prior vocal practice, for those wanting to work on this often decisive yet rarely taught aspect.
Most participants signal a noticeable effect from the first or second week of return, with deeper anchoring over four to six weeks of regular practice. The course closes with a personalized practice plan calibrated on your professional rhythm, with milestones at one, three and six months for participants wanting to track their progression more formally over time.
At ITTA centers in Geneva and Lausanne, this course runs in a small group with an expert trainer and a format alternating concise theory, practical exercises and personalized debrief.
