Details

Claudia Benack (CMU Associate Professor of Voice) will lead an interactive workshop on use of the voice. Discussion will be oriented around effective use of vocal chords for both in-person and phone communication. Masterclass-style exercises will help students increase awareness of how they are perceived, and will work to align students’ communication intentions and realities.

This event is a part of the 4-part Internship Readiness series. Open to all Tepper students, this series is designed to help you succeed in your internship regardless of career path. Each session is formatted as an interactive workshop in which you will practice key skills and behaviors that will prepare and differentiate you over the summer. We encourage you to attend all four sessions, but feel free to mix and match as you see fit. We hope to see you there!
