Speaking to a range of clients in a variety of environments requires different vocal approaches, whether you are speaking in person or via an online platform. Whether you are speaking to a lay client, your senior clerk, or addressing a District, Circuit or High Court Judge, the communication objective will vary and your choice of vocal expression can have a significant impact on the dialogue.

Voice Synergy runs CPD workshops and 1-1 training for the most highly experienced KCs, junior barristers and pupils as well as bar training students to help explore and discover effective vocal techniques and take care of the voice.

Are you making the most of your voice and the influence it can exert?

Voice Synergy provides bespoke voice training. Discover how you can apply your voice powerfully and appropriately to engage, unite and lead.

Workshop

“There was strong opinion today about the value of this work running alongside the advocates’ other classes and certainly making it a compulsory short course for all students to attend early in their course.”

Law Faculty Member, Bristol University.

“I have witnessed Ms Chatting in action and can thoroughly endorse her work, in particular her ability to bring richness and colour to vocal delivery.”

John Virgo, Barrister.

We provide you with a range of vocal tools and techniques to help you understand how personality types manifest through the voice and how you can use your own pitch, tone and volume in different ways to produce effective results in people management.


Debbie Chatting is the author of Voice for Advocacy published by Oxford University Press for City Law School, London from 2012 – current.

“Every Barrister should undertake this session.”

“Very helpful, particularly in cross-examining witnesses.”

“Excellent all round. Just what I it hoped would be.”

Attendees, Western Circuit Training Day.

In Britain, the biases people have about certain…
