Public Speaking

Milena Origgi is one of more than 100 CEOs who have decided to volunteer their time and international experience to shape and mold a number of women who have set their sights on becoming leaders in their field. Among the initiative’s godmothers, in addition to Mylena Vocal Coach, we also find prominent influencers such as Clio Zammatteo.

Who doesn’t dread the moment when someone, perhaps during a job interview, asks you to briefly introduce yourself? 

Yet, the subject we are asked about is the one we should know better than any other: ourselves. 

Out of the thousands of things you could say, which could be the most interesting to make an impression? Surely the key point is just how to start a kick-off speech. 

This first step will define your personality, at least for your interviewer: the employer. 

What is the mistake to absolutely avoid during a job interview? Do not repeat what you have already written in your Curriculum Vitae, partly because it has already been evaluated before the face-to-face meeting, so it is important to add new information that on paper may not transpire.

Today an interesting article came out in MF, Milano Finanza, the high profile magazine related to investments, titled “How to speak in public: public speaking for professionals and entrepreneurs” in which it is explained why Inborn Voice Vocal Coaching is the natural evolution of Public Speaking, especially from a business perspective.

You can learn more directly on the Milano Finanza website or read the translation below.

We offer world-class training to help you improve your personal, social, and professional communication skills.

What is meant by the term diction? What does diction teach and why is it important to have good diction?

Before answering these questions, let’s start with an important premise: the key to any form of communication is the integral reception of the message you want to send.

Just as good calligraphy serves to make a handwritten message easier to read, good articulation and pronunciation serve to make an oral message fluid and more understandable.

It should be understood early on that diction in the strict sense is only an embellishment, an element that facilitates communication, and not a substantial part of it.

Anyone can experience a “stage fright” which is the fear of facing an audience or public.

What was once referred to as “stage fright” or “rookie panic,” today is referred to as “microphone panic” because it is an element that usually connects all of these events.

It happens all the time to actors, singers and entertainment professionals, even those who don’t even have to speak, like dancers or extras.

It is something that has existed since the dawn of time: we can read of similar episodes already in the accounts of the ancient Greeks and Romans, the “creators” of Theater and Oratory.

Every artist has faced this problem at least once in his or her career. In fact, as Mylena Vocal Coach says, stage fright goes hand in hand with the desire to express oneself and communicate in the best possible way.
