Good morning, everyone.
大家早上好。
Thank you for inviting me here today.
謝謝大家今天邀請我來這里。
My name's Patrick Greene, and I've had quite ah interesting and varied career.
我是帕特里克·格林，我的職業(yè)生涯很有趣也很多樣化。
I actually spent nearly ten years as an actor before I went into business with a friend.
實際上，在我和一個朋友做生意之前，我做了將近十年的演員。
We set up a training company.
我們成立了一個培訓公司。
As you can imagine, that brought me into contact with a lot of different organisations, and I soon realised that new employees were often asked to give talks very early in their career; and that it was something they found extremely difficult.
你可以想象，這讓我接觸到很多不同的組織，我很快意識到，在職業(yè)生涯的早期，新員工經(jīng)常被要求進行演講；他們認為這是非常困難的。
As a result, I sold my share of the business and started my current company, which is called Star Consultants.
所以，我賣掉了自己的股份，創(chuàng)辦了我現(xiàn)在的公司，叫做Star Consultants。
We offer courses in public speaking - they're designed for graduates.
我們提供演講課程——它們是為畢業(yè)生設計的。
My acting experience was very useful, and I had some coaching myself before I started courses for other people.
我的表演經(jīng)驗非常有用，在開始為別人上課之前，我自己也接受了一些指導。
There is a great need in companies for staff who can communicate well, and I can help people to feel confident about those skills.
公司非常需要善于溝通的員工，我可以幫助人們對這些技能充滿信心。
There are two main courses I offer. The first is called 'Giving Presentations'.
我提供的有兩門主要課程。第一種是“做演講”。
I actually help with the technical side of things, as well as the necessary speaking skills.
實際上，我在技術方面，還有必要的演講技巧方面，都能幫到學員。
The other course there is a great demand for is called 'Promoting Products' and I do a lot of training in this, too.
另一門課程需求量很大，叫做“產(chǎn)品推廣”，我也在這方面做了很多培訓。
The first part of any course is always voice work, I spend a lot of time getting people to produce a good, clear sound that an audience can hear easily.
所有課程的第一部分都是發(fā)聲，我花了很多時間讓人們發(fā)出一種悅耳的，清晰的聲音，聽眾可以很容易地聽到。
I then move on to how to speak with a microphone, since nearly all of my trainees have to use one.
然后我開始講如何使用麥克風說話，因為幾乎所有的學員都必須使用麥克風。
We then do a lot of practice, and trainees help each other.
然后我們做了很多練習，學員們互相幫助。
The final part of the course then looks at different things, like how to deal with problems and how to time a talk.
這門課的最后一部分講的是不同的事情，比如如何處理問題以及如何安排演講時間。
Now, I've got a video here to show you of one of my courses in action ...
現(xiàn)在，我這里有一段視頻向你們展示我的一門課。
