Acoustic Voice Profiling®
Acoustic Voice Profiling® is the training concept linked to PICSA. And like PICSA it is digital. What does that mean? It means connectivity! We can combine Acoustic Voice Profiling® will all kinds of digital technologies -- for your benefit, comfort, and fun.
You have booked a training with us and would like to know what you can expect? Or do you need more details before making your booking? No problem! Here is how we improve your voice's charisma... and keep you at this high performance level after your training.
PISCA-based Acoustic Voice Profiling® is based on five elements:
We start with recording, processing, and analyzing your communication signals with respect to 6-16 empirically selected acoustic parameters
Then, you receive a summary of the PICSA analysis in a single value: your charismatic-voice score. We call this the PASCAL score. In addition, you get a comprehensive report that shows you how you performed on each relevant parameter (compared to famous speakers, if you like)
Then, you learn how to interpret the PICSA score and report; and based on background knowledge about the mechanics, physics, and physiologiy of speech production, you under-stand how to change your speech, breathing, and voice behavior to improve your PASCAL performance
Our specifically devel-oped and scientifically approved hard- and software tools assist you on your journey to a more charismatic speak-er. Our experts super-vise your improvements and show you which tools and techniques serve your individual training needs best
You receive an access code to our exclusive PICSA App (Android and online via web browser). The App helps you keep your new level of excellence after the end of an intensive train-ing day with us. Go on practicing your chari-smatic voice wherever and whenever you want
