Objective of this Workshop
What is Voice Modulation?
The change in tone and pitch of your voice is voice modulation • Tone is how we say what we say. For example “he said in a nervous tone”
• Pitch is the frequency of our voice. The higher the pitch the higher your voice sounds and vice versa.
• Pre-pubescent children have higher pitched voices than adults due to their undeveloped larynx (voice box)

Relevance of Voice Modulation to Teachers • Ever had a child that just couldn’t pay attention?• Ever had a whole class completely ignore your instructions?• Ever had to repeat yourself again and again?• Ever had a class that wasn’t interested in what you had to teach? • 85% students claim their teacher doesn’t always have their attention and that
they would pay more attention if a teacher modulated effectively It may be because you lack the ability to use your voice to its fullest potential. This seminar will give you awareness of the vocal tools you already possess and how use them effectively to garner the attention of your students
