Voice

Description

In this programme, Miranda Krestovnikoff travels across the country to get advice on how to avoid losing your voice.

Her quest is on behalf of Colin Bell, a secondary science teacher in south London who is in his first year of teaching after his NQT year.

• First, Miranda meets up with Patrick Nash, chief executive of the Teacher Support Network, who highlights the importance of having water on hand throughout the day and avoiding milky drinks
• Next, Miranda meets the Royal Shakespeare Company's head of voice, Lyn Darnley, for some tips on the importance of warming up before lessons
• Finally, she calls Hazel Bennett, a teacher for 30 years and author of The Ultimate Teachers' Handbook. Hazel emphasises the importance of using non-verbal cues in the classroom

Will this advice help Colin's voice stay loud and clear for the rest of the term?
