Does your voice ever feel flat, tired or stuck when you're speaking? You're not alone, and this one's for you! 🎙️

PSA QLD|NT is hosting an interactive workshop with Katrina Roberts, professional voice and speech coach, all about training like an actor to release your full voice. No forcing, no faking, just real vocal freedom.

Across the evening you'll work through practical exercises to:
- Align your body and release tension that's holding your voice back.
- Lower and optimise your breath to fuel a fuller sound.
- Free your voice so it's rich, warm and resonant enough to hold any room.

Katrina founded Simply Speech in 2019 and is one of a select few Patsy Rodenburg Associates working in Australia. She also lectures in voice at JMC Academy Brisbane.

📅 Tuesday the 18th of August
⏰ 7.00pm to 9.00pm AEST
📍 Long Tan Room, Kedron-Wavell Services Club, Chermside

This is a hybrid event. Join us in person or online via live Zoom feed, and if you can't make either, a recording will be sent to all registered participants after the event.

Trying to decide what's next for your speaking career? Let's talk it through.

Some of the best advice in this industry doesn't come from a stage, it comes from a conversation. A quick chat with the right person can save you months of second guessing.

That's the value of being part of a community like PSA. Real speakers, real experience, real support when you need it most.

The speaking business questions AI can't answer 🎤

Some of the biggest moves in your speaking business don't come with a roadmap. When do you raise your fees? Is it time to work with a bureau? Should you write a book? How do you grow your profile in a changing market?

Join PSA WA for a CSP Roundtable, an interactive conversation with three Certified Speaking Professionals sharing decades of combined experience:
- Sally Foley-Lewis CSP, PSA National President and specialist in leadership and professional development.
- Chris Smoje CSP, customer service speaker, educator and author.
- Lauren Hancock CSP, psychologist and emotionally intelligent leadership facilitator.

This isn't a traditional presentation. Bring your questions, challenges and opportunities, and leave with practical ideas you can apply straight away.
📅 Monday the 17th of August
⏰ 6:30pm to 9:00pm AWST
📍 EVOLVE, West Leederville
💻 This is a hybrid event, held in person with a live Zoom feed for those joining online.

Ever notice how some of the best ideas come from a conversation you weren't expecting to have? 💬

That's PSA in a nutshell. Sure, we run outstanding events, programs, and accreditation journeys. But underneath all of it is a community of speakers who genuinely support one another.

It's the chapter catch up that turns into a lasting friendship. The advice from a fellow member that changes how you approach your business. The encouragement from someone who's walked the same journey you're on now.

Connection is what keeps our community strong, and it's what makes PSA membership so worthwhile.

What's the secret to a story audiences never forget? Join us to find out! 🎤

Professional Speakers Australia NSW/ACT is hosting a special evening with acclaimed television producer and storytelling expert Maz Farrelly. With more than 30 years in global entertainment, Maz has worked on shows like Big Brother, The X Factor and Dancing with the Stars, and with guests including King Charles, Beyoncé and Usher. Her work has generated more than eight billion views.

Opening the night is Therese Tarlinton, Brand Matchmaker and founder of MESHD, sharing how she's brokered partnerships with brands like Benetton, Jeep and James Hardie without spending a cent on ads.

You'll discover:
- Why audiences remember stories, not slides, statistics or clever frameworks.
- A simple producer's blueprint for turning ordinary experiences into unforgettable keynote stories.
- The storytelling techniques that separate competent presenters from speakers people talk about long after the event ends.

The evening wraps up with an interactive fireside Q&A, and no question is off limits!

📅 Thursday the 13th of August
⏰ 7pm to 9pm (optional dinner from 5.30pm)
📍 Mercure Sydney St Leonards, Greenwich

There's something special about catching up with your local speaking community, isn't there?

Getting involved with your local PSA chapter is a great way to reconnect with familiar faces, meet speakers you haven't crossed paths with yet, and pick up insights you can take straight back into your business.

It's informal, it's encouraging, and it's a reminder that you don't have to navigate your speaking journey alone.
