Acting & Voice Techniques for Executive Presence (Telegenia)

Master Boardroom Delivery, Camera Presence & Physical Authority with a London & Paris Trained Actor

In high-stakes business environments, technical knowledge alone will not win over a board of directors, secure investor backing, or command a keynote stage. True leadership presence relies on telegenia—the intersection of acoustic resonance, body language alignment, emotional connection, and stage presence.

Led by Edward Olive—a professional British actor and voiceover artist with over 30 years of experience across film, TV, and international corporate campaigns, trained on courses at RADA (The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) and The Actor’s Centre in London, Studio 34 in Paris, and former London/Paris commercial litigation solicitor—this specialized program applies professional dramatic techniques directly to corporate leadership.

Why Executive Presence Demands Professional Dramatic Training

Generic public speaking courses teach static posture and memorized scripts. True executive authority requires applying performance techniques developed in international theater, film sets, and voice recording studios:

• Stage & Screen Telegenia: Master camera framing, eye-line discipline, dynamic posture, and facial muscle control for broadcast interviews, corporate video presentations, and hybrid boardroom meetings.
• Vocal Resonance & Breath Support: Utilizing theatrical vocal warm-ups and diaphragmatic breathing to eliminate throat strain, control speech velocity, and tap into deep chest resonance.
• Status Mechanics & Body Language: Understand high-status vs. low-status physical cues, body positioning, and hand gesture timing to project psychological safety and unshakeable authority.
• Authentic Emotional Resonance: Moving past artificial «corporate waffle» to connect genuinely with real audiences, building trust without sounding rehearsed or synthetic.

Specialized Acting Modules for Corporate Executives (1-on-1 & Micro-Groups)

All training is conducted as 1-on-1 private executive coaching or in micro-groups capped at 3 executives, utilizing professional camera and audio monitoring at The Factory Lucero studio in Madrid or live online.

1. Boardroom Telegenia & Remote Camera Control

• On-Camera Presence: Rehearse delivering complex corporate strategies under professional studio lighting, mastering eye contact with camera lenses and teleprompters.
• High-Definition Audio Technique: Learn studio condenser and lavalier microphone mechanics to ensure your voice sounds warm and full without popping, distortion, or vocal fatigue.

2. Vocal Diction, IPA Mechanics & RP Accent Polish

• RP Articulation: Refine Received Pronunciation (RP) clarity using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
• Visual Phonetics: Work on the precise physical placement of speech articulators (jaw drop, lip rounding, tongue placement, teeth alignment)—an approach exceptionally effective for international and hard-of-hearing leaders.

3. Handling Pressure, Cold Reading & Impromptu Q&A

• Overcoming Stage Anxiety: Apply acting techniques to channel adrenaline into focused, dynamic energy rather than physical tension or conversational fillers («er», «um»).
• Impromptu Rhetoric: Rehearse cold-reading executive summaries and handling unpredictable board cross-examination with immediate, calm composure.
