Breath Thought Connection
Breath is a powerful tool that can be used to support speech, power cognition, and guide audience comprehension of verbal content.
Vocal Production
Articulation, Vocal Placement, and Resonance can be interwoven to add confidence and authority to speech.
Frame and Stance
The Frame and Stance employed by the body provide physical support that enables the cooperation and interrelationship between all of our communicative systems.
Physical Orientation
Five basic orientations of the torso in space control how we give attention, how we receive attention, and how we draw attention in a face-to-face interaction.
Navigating Space
The concepts of Level, Horizontal, Line Focus, and Plane allow us to diagram the physical composition of an in-person communication.

Gesture works with our other communicative systems to form a relationship of mutual influence.
Building Patterns
Fundamental Skills combine to create compound actions and replicable communicative patterns.
Strategic Development
The framework of a communication strategy can be assembled quickly and with the use of simple, outcome-focused concepts.
Environments and Stages
The flow of focus and attention are affected by the communicative environment. We can better strategize around an interaction by understanding the basic attention relationships created by common performance venues and stages.
Presentation Aids
Physical structures, such as the lectern or the podium, create a ceremonial importance that amplifies an audience expectation in a public speaking environment.
Presenting with a Display
Effective Facilitation of a PowerPoint or a Visual Aid requires that we treat our relationship with the display as a presentation partnership.
Basic Microphone Technique
Familiarity with amplification equipment and techniques creates flexibility and agency in a performance.
Performance Prep Routine
An outcome-focused warm up can be composed from a wide set of vocal, mental, and physical exercises.
Fundamentals for the Seated Frame
The same fundamental skills that govern physical composition can create a communicative advantage in the seated frame.
Combining Concepts
Advanced communication strategies that compound or combine previously established concepts.
