A speed date is a social event where several people go on a series of short, timed conversations with potential romantic partners. Participants usually sit across from each other in a specially designated room and have a few minutes to introduce themselves, ask questions, get to know each other, and possibly like each other. When the allotted time runs out, people switch tables and everything starts over with another person, continuing in this way until everyone else has met.
At the end of the event, participants will somehow name the people they would like to see again to the organizers and, if there is mutual interest, contact information are exchanged. Speed dating is a more efficient and structured way than “casual” or “social media” dating, but it has characteristics and difficulties that should not be left to chance.
Motivational speeches are those that aim to inspire and motivate listeners to take action or make positive changes in their lives. They are often delivered by those who have achieved success in their field, overcame challenges, or possess qualities considered unique, but in reality, every day ordinary people, even unintentionally, create equally memorable ones for their co-workers, loved ones, or children.
The main goal of a motivational speech is to transmit a sense of energy and excitement in the audience, helping them to feel more confident, optimistic and strong. In this article we will discuss motivational speeches in simple terms, including their purpose, structure and key elements, clearly through the lens of Inborn Voice voice coaching, the leader in the voice training.
Every day we relate ourselves to society and other people. As we grow up, we have learned to “recognize” certain aspects of these interactions by constructing “first impressions” and thus “biases.” These automatisms can be related to all five of our senses, I would even say to our “sixth sense.” Without going into the details of the consequences of these prejudices, which are personal, we are all prone to react when faced with people who smell bad, who are not dressed decently or who speak strangely. This is precisely why we have learned to wear perfume, wear fancy clothes and…?

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.

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.
