Author: Caroline Goyder<br />
bio<br />
Caroline Goyder is a voice, presentation and public<br />
speaking expert. She worked for many years as a voice<br />
coach at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama<br />
and still continues to support her non-acting clients,<br />
helping them perform with the same power in everyday<br />

feel their best. Caroline is founder and creator of The<br />
Gravitas Method, which is where the idea for her book<br />
‘Gravitas’ stemmed from, a book in which she reveals<br />
how to speak so that others will listen.<br />
review<br />
This book is great if you lack confidence and need that<br />
extra boost when you’re speaking in public. The main<br />
part of the book is set out into ‘The Seven Principles<br />
of Gravitas’ which makes it easy to read and grasp.<br />
The book is a very practical ‘how to…’ with numerous<br />
tips relating to different situations, with sections on<br />
presentations, telephone calls and interviews. However,<br />
the book is more of something for you to dip in and<br />
out of rather than read all at once, as some tips may<br />
suit your situation more than others. Nevertheless, the<br />
gems of advice that you do pick up will stay with you<br />
for years to come.<br />
rating<br />
A concise guide for anyone looking to<br />
improve their gravitas and confidence.<br />
