Description

Overview

Clear and confident speaking is just as essential as strong writing for researchers. Whether you're pitching your project, explaining your work to a non-specialist audience, or presenting at a conference, how you say something can matter just as much as what you say. This two-part workshop is designed to help early-career researchers build verbal fluency, sharpen their delivery, and present their research engagingly—without relying on slides.

What You’ll Learn

Through targeted voice and speech coaching, you’ll learn how to craft and deliver short, impactful research presentations. The course focuses on vocal presence, spontaneous articulation, and narrative clarity. Using a mix of hands-on exercises, peer feedback, and guided reflection, you will develop a 3-minute spoken “taster” presentation of your research—similar to a podcast pitch.
The second session bridges toward visual communication by offering a preview of how to translate your spoken clarity into an effective research poster.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Speak clearly and confidently about your research in short formats
  • Use voice and intonation to highlight key messages
  • Deliver effective, slide-free presentations
  • Craft a compelling spoken "taster" of your research
  • Reflect on and improve your personal speaking style
  • Take first steps toward creating a clear and engaging poster
