Start your day in your voice and body, not just your inbox. A free 30-minute morning practice session.
Every day has a first word. How are you saying it?
Most of us start the day already rushing, half-awake, straight into the inbox. This is 30 minutes to arrive in your voice and your body before the day takes over.
You'll warm up your voice and body live, the same way we do before any high-stakes moment.
You'll feel the difference between a sentence spoken on autopilot and one spoken with intention, and you'll record yourself at the start and again at the end of the session, so you can actually hear the shift for yourself.
Why this session is different
Female Speaking Berlin is run by Esther de Bruijn and Dyane Neiman, both theater-trained facilitators with years of experience helping women find and use their voice. Our method combines theater-based practice with science-backed technique, so what you learn isn't theory, it's something your body remembers..
This is a small, camera-on group.
Come ready to unmute, try things out loud, and share with the group. This is a practice session, not a lecture!
What to expect:
A live, guided voice & body warm-up
A before-and-after recording, so you hear your own shift
A calm, supportive space to start your day differently

*We use "women" to include all who identify as women, as well as non-binary and gender-fluid individuals.
Who is this for?
Women* who want to speak up with more confidence, whether that’s in team meetings, presentations, pitches, or on bigger stages. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to prepare anything.

Each session stands on its own, so come to one, two, or all three.
