The students of the School of Young Guides at the National Centre RUSSIA learned about the power of speech and mastered speech techniques
The latest
lesson at the School of Young Guides at the National Centre RUSSIA was
dedicated to the art of beautiful, confident, and dynamic speech. The practical
lesson "The Power of Speech" was conducted by the instructor, radio
host, announcer, and the official female voice of the National Centre RUSSIA,
Natalia Selikhova.
"Speech
is your tool, which will give you the opportunity to conduct tours in the best
possible way, to speak convincingly with absolutely different people, from
children's groups to the highest-ranking guests. And if you master your vocal
apparatus and learn how to speak well, nothing will throw you off, and you will
make a tremendous impression," shared Natalia Selikhova with the young
guides.
Under the
guidance of the teacher, the students of the Young Guide School performed
articulation exercises, learned to change the tone of their voice, practiced
basic breathing exercises by Strelnikova, and trained in the "Square
Breathing" technique, which helps to cope with nervousness before any
performance or even an exam. For homework, the students prepared a short
self-presentation.
"The
way you introduce yourself to your tourists determines a lot. It affects the
first impression you make on the people who will spend time with you. Moreover,
30% of the mood of your group throughout the tour depends on how you start the
tour, how confident and dynamic it will be, how charming you will be,
including," noted Natalia Selikhova.
The School
of Young Guides project launched at the National Centre RUSSIA on February 1 as
a continuation of the tradition established at the International RUSSIA EXPO.
The lessons are aimed at schoolchildren from Moscow and the Moscow region, aged
9 to 17. The educators of the project immerse the students in the world of
history, art, nature, and technology, introduce them to the cultural heritage
of the country, help refine speech techniques, and train public speaking
skills. Upon completing the course, the young guides will conduct tours for the
guests of the National Centre RUSSIA.
