About the event 👀

A 4-Day Course in Confident Speech, Presence & Expression


Your voice is more than sound — it’s how people experience you.


In this 4-day immersive course, led by performer and writer Caro Derkx, you’ll develop vocal clarity, expressive power, and the confidence to speak in front of others — without forcing, pretending, or “acting confident.”


This course is practical, experiential, and deeply human. You’ll learn through doing: speaking, moving, listening, writing, and performing — in a supportive group environment.


No prior experience is required. This course is suitable for all levels.


What You’ll Gain

Over four intensive days, you will:

  • Speak with greater clarity, ease, and confidence

  • Use your voice and body more expressively and authentically

  • Handle unexpected moments with presence and creativity

  • Build stronger connections through verbal and non-verbal communication

  • Develop self-awareness around how you speak — and how you’re perceived

  • Feel more grounded and confident when speaking in front of others


This is not about perfect speech. It’s about finding a voice that feels true to you.


How the Course Works

Each day focuses on a different layer of voice and expression. The structure allows skills to build gradually and integrate naturally.

Day 1 | Speech Refinement & Linguistic Sensitivity

FEB 15 | 13:00 - 16:00


Focus: Precision, clarity, and expressive language


You’ll begin by developing awareness of how you speak — and how small changes in articulation, rhythm, and word choice can transform communication.


You’ll work on:

  • Speaking clearly and confidently

  • Exploring rhythm, tone, and melody in speech

  • Understanding how language shapes meaning and perception

  • Storytelling techniques that make speech engaging


Through guided exercises, you’ll start refining your speech to sound more intentional, expressive, and grounded.

Day 2 | Non-Verbal Communication & Vocal Dynamics

FEB 22 | 13:00 - 16:00


Focus: Body language, presence, and vocal expression


Communication goes far beyond words. On Day 2, you’ll explore how posture, movement, breath, and voice work together.

You’ll work on:

  • Awareness of posture, gestures, and facial expression

  • Using movement and stillness to hold attention

  • Training the voice for projection and emotional range

  • Reading and responding to non-verbal cues


The goal is alignment — so what you say matches how you say it.

Day 3 | Writing & Performing Your Own Text

MAR 8 | 13:00 - 16:00


Focus: Personal expression and performance


On Day 3, you’ll turn inward and work with your own words.


You’ll explore:

  • Writing short personal texts (including letter-writing exercises)

  • Developing a distinct written and spoken voice

  • Techniques for performing personal material

  • Using rhythm, pacing, and emphasis to bring text to life


This day is about ownership — speaking from your own experience with clarity and confidence.

Day 4 | Integration & Everyday Application

MAR 15 | 13:00 - 16:00


Focus: Bringing your voice into daily and professional life


The final day is about integration. You’ll focus on using everything you’ve learned naturally and sustainably.


You’ll work on:

  • Applying speech techniques in social and professional settings

  • Speaking with confidence without overthinking

  • Letting go of speech anxiety and embracing spontaneity

  • Integrating voice, body, and storytelling into daily communication


By the end of the course, you’ll have practical tools — and a deeper trust in your own voice.


Who This Course Is For

For anyone who wants to:

  • Speak more confidently in front of others

  • Feel more at ease expressing themselves

  • Improve public speaking without becoming rigid or performative

  • Strengthen presence, authenticity, and connection

  • Explore voice and communication in a creative, supportive setting


You don’t need to be an actor or performer — just open and curious.


Ready to Master Your Voice?

If you want to speak with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity — in daily life, work, or creative settings — this 4-day course will give you the tools and the experience to do exactly that.

About The Master 🏆

Caro Derkx


One of the defining characteristics of Caro’s work is her ability to navigate the thin line between reality and fiction. She is fascinated by the concept of authenticity in the modern world—how we construct identity, how truth is shaped by narratives, and how art can both reveal and manipulate reality. Whether through her solo performances or collaborations, she continuously questions what it means to "be real" in an age where image and perception dominate.
