Sessions include the expertise of a voice and presentation coach from the Barbican’s in-house team, as well as time in the actual meeting room booked for their event.
The new service will provide speakers and presenters with a chance to visit the Barbican in advance of their event, learn more about the space in which they will be speaking and actually practice their presentation in front of an expert, who will be able to advise them on delivery style and technique.
Barbican, general manager, Anthony Hyde comments: "The main meeting spaces here at the Barbican accommodate 2,000 and 1,100 people. For the unprepared they are huge spaces and quite daunting. Taking the time to rehearse in advance, in the actual space where they are due to perform, can make a significant difference to a speaker and therefore the presentation."
