2. Weaving the People Together - Throw Your Voice with Confidence

“Feel nervous speaking in public? You’re not alone — and we’ve got your back.”
Join vocal coach Anna Van Riel for a hands-on session that makes voice care, breathwork, and confidence
easy and fun.

This dynamic two-hour wānanga with Anna Van Riel from Nook Road Productions explores the power of
the human voice — as a tool for confidence, communication, and connection. Using a blend of visuals,
breathwork, and interactive exercises, Anna guides participants through the mechanics of clean, clear, and
healthy voice use for both speaking and singing.

Perfect for anyone who uses their voice in daily life — from presentations and job interviews to storytelling
and performance — this session builds vocal awareness, strengthens expression, and fosters wellbeing.
With a special focus on the ageing voice, this workshop empowers ākonga to stand tall, breathe deep, and
share their voice with clarity and confidence.
